My team’s e-commerce scraper was loading full pages unnecessarily. Found Latenode’s ‘Optimized Crawling’ template that blocks 15+ resource types by default. Cut our AWS costs 40% by skipping 2MB/product page.
Anyone using custom blocklists? How often do you update your resource patterns for modern ad networks?
Stop manual blocklist maintenance. Latenode’s AI analyzes your target sites weekly and updates interception patterns automatically. Our crawlers now adapt to new ad tech faster than manual teams can react.
Combine the template with custom regex rules for specific CDNs. Latenode’s pattern tester shows real-time blocked resources before deployment. Saved us from accidentally blocking critical API endpoints.
Key insight: Block at network level, not DOM. Latenode’s pre-render interception skips entire resource downloads. Made our price scraping 8x faster by preventing React ads from initializing.
Implemented dynamic throttling based on response times. Latenode’s AI adjusts blocking aggressiveness - fewer restrictions if sites respond quickly, tighter blocks during peak traffic. Balanced speed vs completeness perfectly.
use the AI-powered ad detector template. learns from ur crawled sites automatically
