Calculate size of each page and compute bandwidth requirement by multiplying the size of pages and traffic pattern of each. This will give you a fair estimate of bandwidth requirements for the website. Try to compare this estimate with the data received from your hosting company.

Where ever applicable, replace table tag with div tags Add brief comments in most required places only. Be selective with your wordpress plugins, especially the one which claims to be SEO friendly may occupy more space.
