Crawlee introduces tiered proxies to optimize web scraping by rotating between different proxy types based on their quality, speed, reliability, and cost. High-tier proxies are used for critical tasks, mid-tier for balanced needs, and low-tier for less critical tasks. The system dynamically adjusts proxy usage based on real-time performance data, tracking errors, and using a session pool to distribute requests, minimizing detection risks.
