Question: Can I reduce the amount of data transfer my site needs?

Answer by BestHost Ratings

In general yes. However it depends which files on your site consume most of your traffic. First check all the images you have out there. Most images can be optimized with a proper image editing software(Photoshop, ACDSee, Fireworks, etc) You can play with the image export settings and get a smaller file in file size, but with almost the same image quality. You can try different file formats - GIF, PNG and see which one will produces smaller image file. Then check your HTML files. There are a lot of HTML optimizing programs that will reduce the file size by removing extra spaces and new lines. Check if you have audio/video files and try to optimize their size with a proper media editor.
