With this, I can best determine whether it's the application size, caching strategy, or current hosting model that needs to be optimized.
Currently, the hosting dashboard shows the total bandwidth used to serve my content to the visitors; however without understanding how many times it was served, I don't know whether the application is too large, or I have to scale to meet the number of users. It also isn't clear that if caching is working completely, in the event that return users are using the cached application or not.
Unique and returning users over a period, in conjunction with the size of the application and the total amount of bandwidth used in the same period will give a clear picture of where I can focus any optimization.
