Website Bandwidth

Website bandwidth refers to the amount of data a site transfers over a network during a given period, often described by a hosting plan as monthly data transfer. Loading photographs, scripts, and pages uses data; a gallery-heavy landscaping portfolio may transfer more than a simple contact page. Some hosts advertise unmetered bandwidth while still applying resource or fair-use limits, so plan details matter. Bandwidth is not the same as page speed: a site can have generous transfer allowances and still load slowly because its images or scripts are inefficient. Business owners should review actual usage rather than assuming every traffic spike requires a larger plan.
