Data transfer occurs when information is downloaded from your web site. For instance, if you have one web page with five images on the page, each image must be downloaded so that your visitor can view the page. This is why it is important to optimize media-rich sites so that bandwidth is not wasted. Web sites that have high-quality images and movies for download require more bandwidth, whereas informational sites that mainly just have text hardly use up any bandwidth. However, this figure also depends on how much traffic, or hits, your site receives per month.
