Failure interpretation
If the reproducible check fails, re-check endpoint values, protocol, and local interception before blaming the target.

How it works, step by step

Direct definition
Connection pooling reuses open TCP connections instead of opening one per request.

How it works through proxies
Keep-alive through the proxy avoids repeated handshakes, cutting latency and TLS cost.
- 3
Static-residential implication
Fewer handshakes mean steadier traffic patterns per identity.
- 4
Reproducible check
Time 20 requests with and without keep-alive; pooling shows a clear per-request drop.
