Tips to Improve Zenrows Scraping Speed for Large Lead Lists

Any recommendations on how to have Zenrows scrape faster? I know this is obviously a 3rd party tool but curious to know if there are some recommendations for this - for lead lists of 10k+, it is pretty slow at scraping. Adding our settings in the screenshot

Based on the available settings for Zenrows scraping, here are the key optimizations you can try: 1. Disable unnecessary features: • Turn off JavaScript rendering unless the site specifically requires it • Only enable Premium Proxy and Anti-Bot features when needed for protected sites • Use Autoparse selectively - only when you need structured data output 2. Configure targeted scraping: • Select specific HTML Output Fields instead of scraping entire pages • Only extract the data elements you actually need Keep in mind that scraping speed can also be affected by factors outside these settings, such as website response times and anti-scraping measures. If you continue experiencing slow performance after these optimizations, you may want to request human support for additional guidance.
