My Busby SEO Test Page now have more weight, I think it’s because there’s more than 100 comment and I use javascript and uncompressed CSS. It is widely accepted that fast-loading pages improve the user experience. Fast loading page also means, light site and off course this mean we can save our bandwith usage. So how to make fast loading site and Reduce Bandwith Usage ? Here some tips I found on net.
Before we go to the tips, let me explain about bandwidth usage. Bandwith usage refers to the total amount of information that has been served to your web site visitors. Every file on our Site has a specific size, and every time a visitor downloads that file, our bandwidth usage goes up by that amount.
In short, the more traffic (visitor) we have on our site, the larger the file on our site it’s mean the higher the bandwidth usage.
Simple tips to reduce web site bandwith usage :
1. Analyze your site size with this tools, to improve website performance. Free web page analysis tool calculates page size, composition, and download time. Gives speed recommendations based on best practices for usability, HCI, and website optimization.
2. Host all images else were.

3. Host Scripts, and other files (CSS, JS) else were.
4. Disable hotlinking (use php or .htaccess), you could try google for this tips.
5. Optimize the size of your JavaScript and CSS.
