Far enough if no download upload large file traffic, make sure your vps config can handle many users without cpu or ram overload
So basically as long as it's not uploading or downloading large files?
Users browsing the pages should be fine?
Really difficult to tell but I am sandboxing the following thoughts as a very inaccurate but closest to answering the question.
50000 / 24 / 60 / 60 = 0.6 visits per second assuming it is absolutely equal timing for visits which isn't likely.
But assuming (badly) since there is no other way to determine without metrics how many users visits when - this 100 mbit should be fine.
Even at let's say 20 users visiting at the same time, in theory (which is not accurate completely) - each user would get about 5 mbits. This is an absolute oversimplification so don't be anal. I'm guestimating to help answer the question.
You might get away with being able.to handle this without much notice to the user
However I wouldn't hold my breath that if this a wordpress site on an apache stack that the server won't get overloaded without proper performance tuning. Plain apache and php socks for high load.
Since you mentioned blog, I am assuming no big file downloads since that changes the guestimation.
Thank you so much I really appreciate that, I will give it a try, and if any issues arise I will switch to a stronger connection
More than enough. If you're using a blog/cms software use a caching plugin and put it behind CloudFlare CDN.
If there's no file or video distribution, it's usually not a concern, just make sure your machine's performance is sufficiently loaded. It depends on the type of blog you're running.
It's pretty easy to calculate, if you understand all variables.
100Mb/s = 12.5MB/s
So if your page is 1MB you can send that page 12x per second.
Now there comes variables:
So if you will utilize browser cache you should be able to double your effective throughput (pages per second), if you utilize CDN you should be able to 5x-20x your throughput. Free Cloudflare will get you there in terms of CDN.
Taking all of that into calculations, lets say with browser cache + CDN you get 10x improvement.
120 pages per second * 60 = 7200 per minute,
7200 per minute * 60 = 432000 per hour.
I like to use that "per hour" metric as a very safe "daily visitors" - if your website can handle 432k per hour then with typical peaks/dips in usage patterns you'll be able to handle 432k views daily. In 99%+ cases you'll still have headroom with this calculation.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the input!
I have a gut feeling it will not be enough but users will not notice. Like, who is going to pay attention if page opens in 3 seconds instead of 2 seconds. Or page opens in 2 seconds but images are lazy loaded for another 5-7.
Use cloudflare or bunny to cache your stuff and your website will be faster and use less bw
What’s the server specs? Might be the bottleneck before the 100mbit
Cache everything aggressively and use CDN(s).
100Mbps is plenty for 50k and a lot more.
