Session warm-up

What is warm-up in Linken Sphere

Warm-up is an automatic feature in the Linken Sphere browser designed to prepare a session for working with target sites. It mimics the behavior of a regular user: it visits websites that are popular in the region of the specified proxy/connection, automatically visits websites from a list (generated automatically or specified by the user), including deep browsing of these websites (according to the warm-up settings), and performs actions similar to real human activity on the Internet.

The purpose of warming up is to give anti-bot systems the impression that you are a live user, not a bot. This reduces the risk of blocking, suspicion, and captchas during subsequent work.

How warm-up works

Linken Sphere launches a special algorithm that opens a list of popular sites (including Google, YouTube, etc.), collects cookies, and generates history.

Warm-up works without user involvement — everything happens automatically.

During the warm-up process, the following are created and saved:

• Cookies;

• LocalStorage;

• Visit history;

• And other data that websites from the list interact with

Warm-up timer - what it means

During the warm-up, you will see a timer. It shows the estimated completion time - an approximate estimate of when the process may end.

However, it is important to understand:

• Warm-up may end earlier or later than the specified time - this is normal.

• The duration depends on many factors, including the performance of websites and proxies.

• A change in warm-up time does not indicate an error and does not affect the quality of the result.

What determines the quality of warm-up

Key factors affecting the effectiveness of warm-up and the number of cookies collected:

1. Proxy quality and purity:

   • Fast, stable, and "clean" proxies (which do not arouse suspicion on websites and do not trigger captchas) allow you to load more websites and collect data more efficiently.

   • If proxies are "exposed" or frequently trigger captchas, the number of cookies collected may be significantly lower.

2. Captchas:

   • Captchas may appear on some websites. If they pop up too often, warm-up slows down and data collection becomes more difficult.

3. Website features:

   • Some websites require mandatory acceptance of Cookie Consent.

Conclusion

Warming up is an important step in preparing a session for work. It makes the browser's behavior more natural, reduces suspicion from anti-bot systems, and allows you to start working with the most "live" session possible.

Cases

How to warm up a single session

Creating a new session

1. Click the "Create Session" button.

2. Enter a name (for example, "Test Session").

3. Select the connection type, for example, FreeProxy.

Warm-up settings

1. Open the context menu for the session and select "Warm-up."

2. Fill in the fields:

   • Number of sites - how many addresses will be visited (for example, 5).

   • Viewing depth - how many pages will be opened on each site (e.g., 5).

   • Time on page - how many seconds the bot will "stay" on each page (e.g., 5 seconds).

   • Referrer - a transition indistinguishable from a real one from the selected search engine will be simulated.

   • Sites for warming up - by default, the list of sites for warming up is generated automatically. The most popular sites in the proxy/connection session location will be used. Alternatively, you can specify your own list (paste from the clipboard or from a .txt file).
