How do I manage Fast Data Transfer Usage on Vercel Pro Plan?

Hi, @prathm0025! Welcome to the Vercel Community :raised_hands:

It’s great that you’ve already implemented Package Bundling Optimization and Image Optimization.

Here are some other ideas:

1. Understand Fast Data Transfer (FDT):
FDT refers to the low-latency movement of data between users and the Vercel Edge Network. It’s measured by the volume of data transferred during a request, covering both inbound and outbound data.

2. Analyze your current usage:
Use Vercel’s analytics tools to identify which parts of your application are consuming the most bandwidth. This can help you target your optimization efforts more effectively.

3. Implement caching strategies:

  • Use Vercel’s Edge Caching to cache static assets and API responses at the edge.
  • Implement browser caching by setting appropriate cache-control headers.
  • Consider using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for large static assets.

4. Optimize API responses:

  • Minimize the size of API responses by only sending necessary data.
  • Use pagination for large datasets to reduce the amount of data transferred in a single request.
  • Implement GraphQL if you have complex data requirements, as it allows clients to request only the data they need.

5. Code splitting and lazy loading:
If you haven’t already, implement code splitting and lazy loading for your JavaScript bundles. This can significantly reduce the initial load time and data transfer.

6. Optimize fonts:

  • Use system fonts where possible.
  • For custom fonts, consider using variable fonts to reduce file size.
  • Implement font subsetting to include only the characters you need.

I’ll also cross-post a similar thread, in case it’s helpful:

Remember, optimization is an ongoing process. Let us know how you get on!
