- c22 7y agoWhen used "properly" it should take even less bandwidth.
- maltalex 7y agoA GB of outbound transfer on AWS costs about 0.09$. If the page is 55KB, that means that a single GB is about 18K page loads, but let's make that 15K page loads due to various overhead. To spend 2000$, you'd need to send about 22TB, which are about 330M page loads.
- ComputerGuru 7y agoBut that’s not accounting for gzip.
- gruez 7y agoThis. Firefox's dev tools says 3.38KB transferred (including redirect and favicon). Taking that into account, it's closer to 5 billion page loads.
- wincy 7y agoWell if he’s getting 6 million a day that’s a little over 2 billion hits a year. Maybe he’s overprovisioned an AWS instance or something.
- bbernoulli 7y agoI think he's including the transfers from twitter in the 55kb (which is over 50k of it), which wouldn't cost him anything personally
- eatbitseveryday 7y ago> To spend 2000$, you'd need to send about 22TB, which are about 330M page loads. That equates to 330M/365d = ~900k loads per day. > it's now grown to about 6 million hits per day, and that's just the traffic that makes it through to the landing page [0] So he's paying a discount, even.

- PuffinBlue 7y agoLooks more like 2.7KB and then it loads some resources from Twitter to make up the rest of the size.
