Crawler takes much longer starting April 25th
Closed
Starting today, the crawler is much slower than it was before.
I have made a recent update to the actor. Is it still slow?

Yes, I see the last build 4.17.37 on 2025-04-25. After that, it became very slow

But interestingly enough, rolling back to an older build doesn't speed up the scape run. Also very slow.

I did some more digging and found that it's only very slow for the community search. It takes as much time for 10 communities as it takes for 250 posts.
10 communities run: https://console.apify.com/actors/runs/uybiT0h3dgRKWxYAN#log
It's working pretty fast for posts.
It was designed that way. It uses a different approach to obtaining communities since it is the only way to get some of the community data.
The lite version of the scraper is faster for search and communities but you might have missing information there.
