Would cloudflare caching (free tier?) help in this case? Maybe easier than
upgrades for short time traffic bump.

I am trying to figure out if our hosting plan has enough bandwidth

One of our members may win a peace prize for scientific work so there may

Does anyone know how much traffic a 'media blitz' (for lack of a better

I can bump it to 50Mbps but I am not even sure if that is enough.
