Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

proxy-checker

proxy-checker is a Node.js module you can use to check if proxies from a big list are working.

For example, let's say you want to connect to the website example.com, but it blocks requests from your IP. So you search on the Internet a few proxy servers to use to connect to this website. The problem is that a lot of proxies you can find are not working, or maybe they are already blocked by example.com.

With proxy-checker, you can test big lists of proxy servers to see if they work to send requests to a website.

Example

To install the module: npm install proxy-checker

var proxyChecker = require('proxy-checker');

proxyChecker.checkProxiesFromFile(
	// The path to the file containing proxies
	'/path/to/proxys.txt',
	{
		// the complete URL to check the proxy
		url: 'http://www.example.com',
		// an optional regex to check for the presence of some text on the page
		regex: /Example Domain/
	},
	// Callback function to be called after the check
	function(host, port, ok, statusCode, err) {
		console.log(host + ':' + port + ' => '
			+ ok + ' (status: ' + statusCode + ', err: ' + err + ')');
	}
);

The file you pass as first parameter contains the proxy servers to test. Here is an example:

123.234.321.32:80
12.234.21.243:8080
132.34.212.4:3128
#127.32.76.123:80 <= This line will be ignored

Note that thanks to the Readline API, the file is read line by line, so if your file contains thousands of lines it shouldn't be an issue.
