Ways to minimize bandwidth usage
The best way to avoid excessive server resource usage is to minimize your website's bandwidth usage. This can be achieved by completing one of the following methods (or a combination of them):
Minimize image size
By minimizing the size of images, whether by resizing them, cropping them, or changing the quality settings, this method will result in a direct reduction in bandwidth. You could even consider using an external image provider, such as Imageshack, Photobucket, or Flickr; or an online image compressor, like Optzilla.
Use caching
Caching is the storage of copies of web documents to allow faster access to files for later use. When a user visits your website, certain elements such as images, stylesheets, and external JavaScript files are stored in the cache. This means that a frequent visitor does not download the entire webpage, but only the page elements that have not yet been stored in the cache.
Do not allow users to upload files
Do not allow your blog readers, forum users, or website visitors to upload photos and videos.
Protect your site from hacking
A hacked website can be the cause of too much extra server resource usage, as malicious code typically tries to process many things on each page load, above what a normal website does.
Reduce the number of plugins or modules
Before installing a plugin or module, consider searching for it on Google to ensure there are no known issues with the script. It is also recommended to always keep plugins updated. Outdated plugins can cause excessive server usage and leave the website open to hackers and malware, which in turn could result in server overuse.
Optimize inefficient scripts
By removing whitespace and simplifying the code in your dynamic files, you will also notice savings in bandwidth. If you do not have much technical experience editing your website's code, we recommend not trying to minimize bandwidth usage in this way.
