you can check how much Cloudflare saved bandwidth if our website. by serving content from their CDNs across global locations.
how much traffic is served by Cloudflare?
my case at beginning its caching 85% requests and saved lot of bandwidth (upload/download size of the website). but i made changes in page rules exceed for 1 page from the cache that may reduced cached request.
or Cloudflare team suggested me to enable argo app which is paid versions.
Argo app on Cloudflare
it charges $0.10 for every GB. (includes cache & hits client>> Cloudflare and server to Cloudflare).
billed monthly 1st 1 gb is free enabling for it charge $5.
what I was thought if Cloudflare caches 1 GB data daily in the free plan
Last Month
Total Bandwidth
45.34 GB
Cached Bandwidth
23.07 GB
Uncached Bandwidth
22.27 GB
45.34 GB
Cached Bandwidth
23.07 GB
Uncached Bandwidth
22.27 GB
response bandwidth
request bandwidth it would be 10% or 100% (if 100% it would be double).
23 GB cached is free but if you enable argo your billing would be 23*.0.10= $14 dollars additional charge for the month.
look at here
What is bandwidth?
it’s a data limit in GB or tb for the month. how much download or upload. if your website is 1 MB then for every download you consume 1 MB of data.
