Resources for Measuring Proxy Speed

A site that offers useful background on proxy speed tests is testmy.net, which also provides tools for testing the speed of uploads, downloads, and other factors. https://testmy.net/country/a1/max, can show you the speed performance of anonymous proxies in different countries.

Another informative site is the Thousand Eyes blog. You may want to take particular note of their article Measuring Performance with HTTP Proxies.

And, if you use the FoxyProxy add-on with Firefox, check out the knowledge base article Testing Service Speed. Note that in a test this service will choose a remote site close to the proxy server you’re using. For example, if your proxy is in The Netherlands, the testing service will target a remote site in that country.
