One of my clients websites is absolutely smashing the bandwidth every moment even though it has very little traffic, the hosting company can not give me the reason for it other than it seems to "call" itself.

Anyone on here can take a look at this for me to check and fix the problem?
 


What do you mean smashing bandwidth? As in the site is loading slow or your data transfer is high?

The fastest fix for Magento speed is going to be increasing memory on the server. You have to consider the cost/overhead (memory) for choosing something easy/feature rich. If you're choosing a framework that is Zend/MVC or similar, it is going to be resource heavy.

If it's the data transfer, just tail your apache/nginx logs and see what is being requested.
 
Usually, sudden increases in bandwidth utilization, with no other obvious explanation == someone found a vulnerability and is using the server to send spam email.

I'd be happy to look if it's a VPS or real server and you can get me at a command prompt. I won't troubleshoot using CPANEL or similar.
 
the website is fluke fashion com

Its using 180Gig of bandwidth a month but gets maybe 100-200 uniques a day so something is going wrong there somewhere.

Any ideas?
