How can I measure my data transfer?

0

I need to know how can I measure exactly my data transfer for a webpage that I am building. Can someone explain it in detail?

Also I need to know which server provider is good for my needs, I am building a webpage like Facebook, with a lot images and that kind of things.

2If you're building a website like facebook, ask one of your few hundred programmers, maketers, etc. – Daisetsu – 2010-07-01T20:44:47.437

@Daisetsu, really? Not a useful comment at all. @Enrique The second half of your question is off-topic according to the site FAQ. Please consider editing it out of the question.

I'm not 100% sure what you're after, but if you want to know how much a web browser needs to download to view one of your webpages, then check out yslow, a firefox add-on that works with the excellent firebug. That will show you in a nice graphical way how much is downloaded, how that's split up into different files, and the difference between when your cache is primed and empty.

I should mention that Chrome has this functionality built-in with its Developer tools. – digitxp – 2010-08-25T04:00:36.177
