Scrapy Crawling Speed Is Slow (60 Pages / Min)

I am experiencing slow crawl speeds with scrapy (around 1 page / sec). I'm crawling a major website from aws servers so I don't think its a network issue. Cpu utilization is nowher

Solution 1:

Are you sure you are allowed to crawl the destination site at high speed? Many sites implement download threshold and "after a while" start responding slowly.
