How many visitors per bandwidth

    Hi All

    Is there a information chart or something that shows what bandwidth will be used per 1000 visitors to your site. I assume it will change with regard to downloads etc but I just need a rough idea.

    So for example one of my hosting accounts had a bandwidth of 10GB so how many visitors does that allow each month?

    I just need a rough estimate to the nearest hundred or thousand?

    Thanks

    James

    how about size of your page + images x 1000? that should be the max since pics etc usually get cached.

    You need to (first) know the file size of the .html and / or .php for your index page.
    ~~~
    Honestly, the easy way to figure it out is to get a bit of traffic, and then check the average amount of transfer used.
    • If you really want to know in advance, well...
    • Is it a single page site?
    • If "No", how will you know (in advance) which pages your visitors will see???
    ~~~~~~

    10g is plenty for a new site.
    I would get some traffic first and check later.

    It depends on the file size of your easch page element (html/php/asp/jsp, image, css, javascript, flash, etc)

    what they all say =)

    it depends on images loaded, size of files transmitted, etc.

    do 10gb / (expected page sizes x expected page views per visit)
