Bandwidth is often the most misunderstood number on a hosting plan, mostly because it sounds scarier than it usually is in practice.
The Simple Formula
Multiply your average page size by your monthly pageviews to get a rough bandwidth estimate. A 2 MB page with 10,000 monthly pageviews uses roughly 20 GB of bandwidth per month.
What Inflates Bandwidth Usage
Large, unoptimized images and videos are the biggest contributors. A page full of uncompressed photos can be 5-10x heavier than the same page with optimized images.
Most Small Business Sites Use Very Little
A typical small business or portfolio site with a few thousand monthly visitors rarely comes close to entry-level plan limits. Bandwidth concerns are mostly relevant for high-traffic blogs, media sites, or sites offering large file downloads.
