Monthly HTTP limit - how to review log for major GB increase

[s1b]

Hi,
Can someone advise on how to figure out where this Monthly GB stat is coming from in my HTTP traffic?

I am trying to figure out if it is something in my control as in - delete files, change image file sizes, sync less often, etc.

We went from 86 GB to almost 250 GB in one year.

From Jan. to Aug. it almost doubled - during this time we had almost no changes to the structure of our website (assuming the increase is something I did to the design, apps, page changes, etc)

From Sep to Dec it increased another 100 GB in this 4 months - in September we added a photo gallery. I am turning this off page for now, to see if this the cuprite. But it does not explain the difference for the other months when we had no significant changes.

We have had an increase in overall orders. So yes, we should have more traffic.

I found the log in Plesk but don't know how to interpret it.
I'd like to see some easy to interpret data and figure out if this is from bots, something I am doing (syncing data, reports, logs, etc) or something I can fix (image file sizes, etc.)

Thank you!
Corina

Our support staff can do that. Often times it's from AI bots training on your site data, and we do have methods of intercepting those requests if that's desired.
