Announcing the ProxyVerity Proxy Checker Widget: Embed Real-Time Proxy Testing Anywhere
We've launched an embeddable widget that brings the full power of our proxy checker to any site with a single script tag. Responsive, secure, and customisable, it supports batch checking and real-time results via safe iframe communication.
What Is the ProxyVerity Proxy Checker Widget?
The ProxyVerity Proxy Checker Widget is a self-contained, embeddable component that replicates the core functionality of our full proxy checker tool directly on your own website. With a single <script> tag you can give your visitors the ability to test one or many proxies—checking status, speed, anonymity level, and geolocation—in real time. The widget communicates securely with our servers via a sandboxed iframe, so your site never handles potentially untrusted data directly.
Who Should Use This Widget
This widget is designed for anyone who runs a site where proxy quality matters:
- Proxy list operators who want to let users verify proxies without leaving the page.
- Tool developers building proxy management dashboards or automation scripts.
- Bloggers and educators writing about proxies who want interactive examples.
- Privacy-focused site owners who need a reliable, client-side proxy checker that won't compromise their backend.
If your audience regularly asks “Is this proxy working?” the widget is a direct, zero-effort answer.
Key Features in Detail
Single Script Tag, No Dependencies
Embedding the widget requires nothing more than a <script> tag placed anywhere in your HTML. No additional CSS, JavaScript libraries, or server-side modifications needed. The widget self-initialises and respects the CSS prefers-color-scheme by default.
Light and Dark Themes
The widget ships with two polished themes: light and dark. You can set a theme explicitly with a data-theme attribute, or let it follow the user's system preference. Custom CSS variables let you tweak colours, fonts, and spacing to match your site's design.
Batch Checking with Real-Time Results
Users can paste a list of proxies—one per line—and check them all simultaneously. Each proxy appears as a row with animated status indicators: spinner during testing, then a clear pass/fail badge with measured latency, anonymity level (transparent, anonymous, elite), and country. Results update as they arrive, so there is no waiting for the entire batch to finish.
Responsive and Accessible
The widget scales from a single-column layout on mobile to a multi-column table on desktop. All interactive elements are keyboard-accessible and labelled for screen readers.
Secure iframe Communication
The widget operates inside a sandboxed iframe served from our domain. Your site communicates with it using postMessage, meaning you never expose your own origin to potentially malicious proxy data. The proxy requests themselves are made by our servers, not your visitors' browsers, reducing the risk of IP leakage or client-side attacks.
How to Embed the Widget
Including the widget is straightforward. Place the following script tag wherever you want the widget to appear:
<script src='https://proxyverity.com/embed/widget.js' data-theme='light'></script>For a dark theme, change data-theme='dark'. You can also set data-batch='true' to enable batch mode by default, or data-placeholder='Enter one proxy per line' to customise the input prompt. A full list of options is available on the widget documentation page.
Use Cases and Practical Examples
The widget fits naturally into several scenarios:
- Proxy list pages: Alongside a table of free proxies (like our free proxy list), let users click a “Test Now” button that feeds a proxy into the widget.
- Tutorial sites: In a guide on proxy types, embed a live checker that demonstrates how transparent proxies differ from elite ones.
- Admin panels: If you maintain a private proxy pool, the widget gives your team a quick health-check dashboard without building one from scratch.
Note: The widget is designed for convenience, not for high-frequency programmatic checking. If you need to verify thousands of proxies automatically, use our full proxy checker API instead.
Security and Legality Considerations
Public proxies are inherently risky—they can be compromised, log traffic, or inject data. The widget helps you detect bad proxies, but it cannot make a proxy safe to use. Always treat free proxies as unencrypted intermediaries; never send sensitive data through them. When scraping or testing proxies, respect the target website's robots.txt and terms of service. The widget itself does not scrape anything; it only tests proxies against our own test servers.
Getting Started
The widget is free to embed and requires no registration. Drop the script tag into your page, choose a theme, and you're done. For advanced configuration, custom events, and theming details, visit the widget page. If you have questions or feedback, reach out via the contact form on ProxyVerity.
