Example Data Table

This sample shows a realistic planning scenario for a content-heavy site with bots, caching, compression, and CDN offload.

Daily Visits Pages / Visit Page Size Bot % Compression % Cache % CDN % Peak Factor Delivered / Day Peak Mbps
50,000 4.2 2.4 MB 18% 35% 42% 65% 3.5 ~391.48 GB ~132.01
125,000 5.1 1.9 MB 12% 40% 55% 72% 4.2 ~685.20 GB ~266.59

Formula Used

Human visits = Daily visits × (1 − Bot traffic share)

Bot visits = Daily visits × Bot traffic share

Total pageviews = (Human visits × Pages per human visit) + (Bot visits × Bot pages per visit)

Base payload per pageview = Average page size + API/data transfer per view

Compressed payload = Base payload × (1 − Compression savings)

Cached payload = Compressed payload × (1 − Cache hit ratio)

Delivered traffic before overhead = (Total pageviews × Cached payload) + (Human visits × Downloads per visit × Download size)

Daily delivered traffic = Delivered traffic before overhead × (1 + Protocol overhead) × (1 + Retry/error overhead)

Daily origin traffic = Daily delivered traffic × (1 − CDN offload)

Average Mbps = (Daily delivered traffic × 8) ÷ 86,400 ÷ 1,000,000

Peak Mbps = Average Mbps × Peak traffic factor

These formulas give a practical planning estimate rather than packet-level precision. They are useful for bandwidth budgeting, CDN sizing, origin forecasting, and growth modeling.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the expected daily visits for your site or application.
  2. Add pages per visit for humans and bots separately.
  3. Set average page size and any extra API transfer per view.
  4. Adjust compression, caching, and CDN offload based on your stack.
  5. Include protocol and retry overhead to avoid underestimating network load.
  6. Use peak factor to model traffic surges during launches, campaigns, or incidents.
  7. Press Calculate Traffic to see daily, monthly, origin, and throughput values.
  8. Download the result set as CSV or PDF for planning, handoff, or documentation.

FAQs

1. What does this calculator estimate?

It estimates pageviews, delivered traffic, origin traffic, average Mbps, peak Mbps, and request rates using traffic behavior and network efficiency inputs.

2. Why include bot traffic separately?

Bots often crawl more pages per visit than humans. Modeling them separately improves capacity planning for origin load, bandwidth, and cache strategy.

3. What is CDN offload here?

CDN offload represents the percentage of delivered traffic served away from your origin. Higher offload usually reduces origin bandwidth and server pressure.

4. Does cache hit ratio reduce all traffic equally?

This model applies cache savings across compressed page traffic on average. Real systems vary by content type, headers, and personalization rules.

5. Why is peak Mbps important?

Average throughput can look safe while short spikes still saturate links. Peak Mbps helps plan headroom for campaigns, launches, and bursty demand.

6. Should I use MB or GB for page size?

Use the unit that matches your measurements. Most pages fit in KB or MB, while large download assets can be entered in MB or GB.

7. Is this calculator suitable for API-heavy products?

Yes. Add API/data transfer per view to include JSON, media metadata, or application responses that travel alongside page content.

8. Can I export the results for reports?

Yes. The page includes CSV and PDF export buttons so your calculated traffic summary can be shared with teams or stakeholders.
