? Storage & Bandwidth Explained
Understand how storage and bandwidth work on GoSiteMe, and how to optimize both.
What Counts as Storage
- Website files (HTML, CSS, JS, images, videos)
- Database tables and content
- Email messages and attachments
- Backups (stored separately, don't count against your limit)
What Counts as Bandwidth
- Every page view uses bandwidth (page size × visitors)
- File downloads (PDFs, images, videos)
- API requests to/from your site
- Email sending uses minimal bandwidth
? Pro Tips to Reduce Bandwidth
- Optimize images (Alfred does this automatically with WebP conversion)
- Enable browser caching (auto-configured)
- Use lazy loading for images below the fold
- Compress CSS/JS (Alfred's minification tool)
