## ⚡ Performance & Reliability

### Speed

- **Listing mode**  ~2–3 seconds per page (25 properties)
- **Detail mode**  5 concurrent detail fetches per batch
- **100 properties (listing only)**  ~15–20 seconds
- **100 properties (with details)**  ~1–2 minutes

### Crash Recovery

The scraper uses Apify's state persistence to survive crashes, migrations, and timeouts. If a run is interrupted:

- Progress is saved automatically every ~60 seconds
- On restart or resurrection, scraping resumes from where it stopped
- Already-completed URLs are skipped
- Already-scraped pages within a URL are not re-processed

### Error Handling

- Exponential backoff with 3 retries on failed requests
- Continues to the next page after 3 consecutive errors on a single page
- Continues to the next URL if a URL fails entirely
- State is preserved on failure for manual resume

### Resource Usage

- **Memory**: 1024 MB max
- **Proxy**: Residential proxies recommended for stability.
