Very high Bandwidth usage

I’ve noticed that a website in my free plan has been using a significant amount of bandwidth recently. This is a change from prior to about 4 or 5 months ago I believe when the usage was considerably lower, as I was not receiving “You’ll need an allowance increase soon” alerts.

Would anyone know why this is happening?

Hi there! Our support team does not have the ability to provide in-depth insights for bandwidth usage on Starter accounts, but you have the ability to look at your bandwidth usage in the Billing tab and then selecting “Account usage insights”. That will give you some ideas of which sites are using high bandwidth with a daily tracker. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the response!

I was aware of which site was using the most bandwidth from the insights section prior to make this post.

But I want to know why there’s been a sudden bandwidth increase to that site, since I haven’t made any changes to it in about 3 years.

@edwardspresume it’s possible your site started receiving more traffic recently. I’d recommend taking a look at this support guide for your case:
