The issue arises because Octoparse Standard defaults tasks to cloud-based execution rather than local, which explains both queued tasks and significant slowness. To greatly improve your scraping speed, configure your tasks for local execution instead of cloud. Also, consider using mobile proxies if you're increasing threads, as they significantly reduce the likelihood of blocks and usually improve extraction speed by bypassing typical IP-based limitations.
If you need speed, self-hosted scrapers with rotating proxies are the way to go.Okay, wow, it is starting!
But the scraping is so slow!
It's forced to use their "cloud" to run scraping and it's so extremely slow.
