Wow, you're not joking! I counted ~1000 requests for PNG files. Not only expensive for the user, that has to be expensive for the people who built this too. 1000 visitors scrolling through the site and promptly forgetting about it's content would mean 180GB, that's ~10 USD per month just for that page (according to https://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html https://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html).
- charcircuit 5y agoIf you use something like Cloudflare you can eliminate bandwidth costs. AWS way overcharges people on bandwith in general.
- sbierwagen 5y agoCloudflare absolutely does not eliminate bandwidth cost. There is a transfer cap, and if you go over it, you will be asked to upgrade to a paid plan or be dropped.
- charcircuit 5y ago>There is a transfer cap What is the transfer cap? Based off searching it seems that it is unlimited. You can also avoid paying for bandwidth by using other services.
