Bandwidth Calculator
Estimate the monthly data transfer your site needs from its traffic and page weight: plus the sustained bandwidth that implies, so you can pick the right hosting plan.
Monthly transfer = visitors × pages per visit × average page size × overhead factor. Sustained bandwidth averages that over 30 days; real traffic peaks well above the average.

Frequently asked questions about Bandwidth Calculator
It multiplies your monthly visitors by the pages each visitor views, by the average weight of a page, and then by an overhead factor. The overhead factor accounts for things the raw page weight misses: repeat asset downloads, retries, API calls, bots and crawlers, and a safety margin. A factor of 1.5 is a reasonable starting point; bump it up for media-heavy sites or aggressive bot traffic.
Across the web a typical page is roughly 2 MB once images, fonts, scripts and stylesheets are counted, but it varies enormously: a lean text page can be under 500 KB, while an image- or video-rich page can exceed 5 MB. Your browser's developer tools show the transferred size on the Network tab: use your own measured figure for the most accurate result.
The monthly figure tells you whether you'll hit a transfer cap; the sustained bandwidth is the average throughput that traffic represents. Real traffic isn't flat, though, it spikes during campaigns, launches and peak hours, often many times the average. Size for the peaks, and let Uptimeify watch response times so you catch the moment your host or plan starts to strain under load.
