    Hi,
    Last month I had a bandwidth issue on my site. It consumed around 8GB in December month. I optimized the script and used security plugin wordfence. Now on the second day of month I have 220MB band width consumed. It would be a hack? I have checked all files and every possible way to optimize and reduce the bandwidth got but no results.

    How to reduce this and how to know what is eating so much of bandwith.

  • You need to track down your server’s access logs. These are named differently and stored in different locations depending on the server and setup.

    If you can identify what server software you’re using, you could search for where to find these access logs e.g. “apache access log location”.

    Once you know where the files are you can download them, open them in a text editor, and look for repeated hits to the same files or many requests from the same IP.

    Thanks Marios. I found the issue in the image URLs.The images were being accessed somewhere else. I renamed the images and the bandwidth is now in control.

    Thanks!
