Case study · Bandwidth
BFI Capital: ~17 GB to ~2 GB of bandwidth a day
A CMS-heavy Webflow site was using far more bandwidth than it needed. Videos and images were the main cause. After the fixes, daily usage dropped by about 89%, with the same design.
Before, per day
~17 GB
After, per day
~2 GB
Peak day before
27.94 GB
The problem
Between Jul 6 and 15 the site used around 17 GB of Webflow bandwidth a day. The peak was 27.94 GB on Jul 11.
What I did
- Traced the usage to its sources. Videos and images were the main cause.
- Fixed them at the source, without changing the design.
- Tested every page on the live site.
The result
Between Jul 30 and Aug 8 the site used around 2 GB a day, about 89% less. The design didn't change.
Total Webflow bandwidth over time. The line flattens after the fixes.
