Reducing Your Website's Bandwidth Usage

haha,

you guys are great.
I have a Photobucket Pro account and I use it to store all of my images, in my EXTREMELY image-bandwidth heavy website.

It rocks, c’ya :slight_smile:

a href=http://www.rubberduck.me/rubberduck.me/a gives you enough bandwidth (unlimited) so you do not have to worry about the above :smiley:

I wish I had read this article a month ago before I started switching to flickr and then got responses to my blog from users stating None of your images are showing up anymore.

Ugh.

i have been having problems with my bandwith for a while. i am so glad i read this. i hope this works for me.

For example, it could monitor how much bandwidth an image is using and switch to another service before it became to much?

Good article… In fact, information about RSS feed was eye opener.

To reduce image sizes one can consider smush.it from Yahoo. [ http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/smushit/ ]

Free image hosting companies wont help i mean who know how much they will be around? Also if you are using jquery use google api :slight_smile:

even after 2 years this post is still very helpful =D

This is a great article. Something which would be useful when trying to explain to my clients why their gallery is costing them a fortune. Optimise your images before you upload them! Nobody wants to see a 3000px x 3000px image. Brilliant, Thanks for the info!

Well said!

Flickr should work for you… the price of putting a few bits of anchor taggage around the image (to comply with their TOS) is minor compared to offloading the image bandwidth.

For photos I really like photobucket and imageshack. But I think a good lesson is never blog on a quasi program due to peoples desire to see if they can do it.

What tools do you use to check the before and after performance of your site after making those changes?? How can you be sure how much bandwidth you are saving? How do I check it?
