Hi.
Could anyone share the average bandwidt your visitors are using per visit at your sites? I'm getting almost 2 MB and my site is very simple with just a couple of images.

And second. Any tips to reduce the amount of data transfered?

Thank you very much for your help and have a nice day!

Good question,

I have recently moved my site to XOOPs. My bandwith usage has increased TEN TIMES. I went from about 30mb a day to 300mb a day. At this rate, I am going to have to move to a different hosting plan before the month is out !

I understand module-wide caching would help ? But it doesnt seem to work unless you add code to every file in every module. I hope this is something the dev team can fix.

Thanks

Module-wide caching does absolutely zero to the bandwidth. You will still need to send the exact same amount of HTML pages to your visitors.
What caching does is save the output of the page, so the server doesn't have to re-compute the page on every show and thus save on resources and database calls.

Mithrandir,

Thanks for your clear explanation, I appreciate it. Can you hazard a thought as to why my bandwith has increased so much, even though traffic remains at similar levels ? Nothing much has changed, except now Im using XOOPs.

Thanks,

amok

It is a lot. How can these amounts of trafic be reduced?

i havent seen much of bandwidth usage
though it dont take much bandwidth for my website, as i have less images and more of content

best way to reduce is keep less images and check up size of each image that can make a big difference for sure.

Bandwidth only become an issue when I offer files for download for my friends. I'm not a heavily traficed site, but I do get some 500 unique visors, 1,000 page hits and 50,000 page views a month. On average (without the occasional download for family and friens)I transfer about 100-200mb a month, and thats a high number for me.

Even still, even the most basic hosting plans can handle this amount of traffic easily.

If you need bandwidth and want to keep paying roughly the same amount you are now, try http://www.surpasshosting.com if you have to move. I Think they can take care of your increasing needs. (No I do'nt work for them, others may have alternative solutions)

my site is averaging around 950,000 visitors a month last 3 weeks we have hit 1 million, with a total of over 600mb in data transfer.. we usually average around 8gb transfer a month.

i must say XOOPS has coped damn fine.. the only problems i've had are at peak times.. and yesterday we had 78,002 requests and a total transfer of 443mb in just 1 day..the hosting plan we are on is really beginning to slow things down.. so i think if it increases more then looking for a new host will be the next step..

surpass hosting looks the best package i have seen so far..

if u want as minimum transfer as possible then, try and reduce the file size of images etc, compress them more, try not to use full quality images etc.. compress them, but not too much as to degrade their quality too much.

if u have large images/photos, use thumbnails more and let the user click the thumbnail if they want to see the full image..
