Coding Horror: Reducing Your Website's Bandwidth Usage

Jeff Atwood goes into some ways to, well, reduce a website's bandwidth usage:

1. Switch to an external image provider.
2. Turn on HTTP compression.
3. Outsource Your RSS feeds.
4. Optimize the size of your JavaScript and CSS

He says something I find very profound in part one:
"Even though this ends up costing me $25/year, it's still an incredible bargain. I am offloading 90% of my site's bandwidth usage to an external host [By hosting images externally] for a measly 2 dollars a month."

This seems like Aslyum candy- enjoy.

Nice read. Thanks for sharing.

Now... if I could only generate enough traffic that offloading some of my bandwidth would make sense...
