Bandwidth

The Bandwidth Analysis Dashboard provides a detailed overview of bandwidth consumption, helping administrators monitor network usage, detect unusual activity, and optimize resource allocation.

Overview Metrics​

Key statistics displayed in this section include:

  • Total Usage: The total bandwidth consumed by all requests.

  • Average Bandwidth Per Request: The average data usage per request.

  • Most Consuming URL: The URL that has consumed the highest amount of bandwidth.

  • Most Usage by Country: Identifies the country with the highest bandwidth consumption.

These metrics help in assessing overall network efficiency and identifying potential bandwidth-heavy operations.

step 1

A graphical representation of daily bandwidth usage trends provides insights into:

  • Historical Bandwidth Consumption: Displays bandwidth usage per day.

  • Anomalies & Spikes: Helps detect unusual traffic patterns.

Monitoring these trends aids in optimizing bandwidth allocation and identifying potential issues, such as excessive bot traffic or high-resource-consuming pages.

step 2

High Bandwidth Usage by IP & Country​

This section highlights IP addresses and their respective countries that are consuming the most bandwidth. It provides details such as:

  • IP Address: The source of the requests.

  • Country: The geographical location of the IP.

  • Bandwidth Used: The total bandwidth consumed by that IP.

  • Last Request Timestamp: The latest request made by the IP.

Tracking high bandwidth-consuming IPs helps detect potential abuse, such as web scraping or DDoS attacks.

Bot vs. Human Bandwidth Usage​

A comparison between bot and human traffic is shown to distinguish between legitimate and automated requests. Key metrics include:

  • Human Traffic Rate: Percentage of bandwidth used by human users.

  • Bot Traffic Rate: Percentage of bandwidth used by bots or automated scripts.

  • Total Bandwidth Usage: Breakdown of how bandwidth is being consumed.

This information helps administrators filter out unwanted bot traffic that could be consuming excessive resources.

step 3

High Bandwidth Usage URLs​

This section lists the most bandwidth-consuming URLs, detailing:

  • Requested URLs: The web pages or assets consuming the most bandwidth.

  • Data Usage per URL: The total bandwidth consumed by requests to that URL.

This data is useful for optimizing resource-heavy pages, identifying unnecessary large file requests, and improving caching strategies.

File Type Usage Breakdown​

A breakdown of file types consuming bandwidth is provided, showing:

  • File Type: The content type of requested files (e.g., images, scripts, fonts).

  • Bandwidth Usage: Total data consumption for each file type.

  • Request Count: Number of requests made for each file type.

This breakdown helps in optimizing static resources, reducing unnecessary file loads, and improving website performance.
