    Hi

    I have Jetpack installed on my site only because of the photon module.
    My site is using cloudflare ssl certificate and Photon is able to serve all the images from the wp.com CDN. but the problem is that my site’s bandwidth usage is still very high.

    My site was using 2GB bandwidth every day before photon which is exactly same after activating photon. What am I doing wrong?

    This is my site url : Site

    You’ll most likely only start noticing some improvements after a little while. In the beginning, Photon will need to access all your images, download them, and cache them. Things will only start to improve once your images are cached.

    If you still notice high bandwidth usage today, I’d recommend checking if you can get a breakdown about the most requested resources on your server from your hosting provider. If they do not offer such an option, you could check your access logs to see what files are requested a lot. It could indeed be that a big part of your site’s bandwidth is used to download documents that are not cached by Photon, like video files or other non-image media files.

    Let me know if it helps!
