Wordpress Bandwidth

[Barney McGrew]

I have just tried it again and its all red, in fact they all are from the last 12 months, not sure why that was blue when I captured it ? The bandwidth has now dropped to around 1GB a day which is far better than it was

I find most (free) log analyzers shockingly bad, TBA.  If you want to do any serious analysis on a small to medium sized site, you're better off importing the logs into Excel (as space-delimited data).  That way you can filter, sort and so on to fit what you need and create some prettier graphs :-)

Glad you've got your BW down to a more manageable level.  It might be a bit harsh saying you got a crap theme, but the slider they chose to include spits out massive images unnecessarily.

Incidentally, the quite brilliant advice dispensed here is far too good to stay here.  It really should be spun out and added to a 'front' section of this site.  Can't be too hard to install WP+theme, can it..?

Funny you should say that...

I might finally get time to do some work on that once the little one gets into a routine and is happy to amuse himself a bit more

Javascript
You could let Google host your jQuery and SWFObject files.  They'll hardly ever be down, and it's free:

Having just changed to what I cal a better looking template and got it all up and running, I thought i would ensure I do not have a bandwidth problem as before. So far I don't seem to have, but thought I would optimise all the same. I have reduced all the images and used less of them. The fonts are used directly from using Google fonts, a feature of the template, not a plugin. However, I am not sure if the above jQuerys exist and worth installing the plugin I had on the previous site.?

Any advice or comments on this template appreciated hich incidentally has gone down very well with the visitors

Take a look at the home page source code (I haven't looked at the other pages), and you'll see that jQuery is being called in the head and a function is calling it at the bottom of the page.

It'd probably be easier to keep it in your template (WP may use it elsewhere), so the plugin might be worthwhile if you think bandwidth might be a problem.
