What is the Dashboard?
Your SpeedSize Dashboard shows you how your media is being delivered, how fast it's loading, and the impact we're making for your business.
Jump to a section:
- Section: PLAN & USAGE
- Section: MEDIA & CDN DATA TRANSFER
- Section: CDN PERFORMANCE
- Section: LIBRARY & STORAGE
- Section: MOST REQUESTED MEDIA
SECTION: PLAN & USAGE
Plan Overview shows your current plan limits, CDN data transfer, AI generations, and the start and end date for your current plan — a quick reference for what's included in your contract. Use the Current Plan and All Plans tabs to switch views.
Usage and Your Plan shows how much you've used compared to what your plan includes, with Images, Videos, AI Generations, and CDN Data Transfer each showing the amount used, percentage consumed, total included, and remaining - so you always know exactly where you stand against your limits.
SECTION: MEDIA & CDN DATA TRANSFER
Images / Videos shows your image and video delivery over time for the selected environment and date range- helping you track how your media is being served to visitors and spot trends in delivery activity.
CDN Data Transfer Overview shows your CDN data transfer over time, switchable between several views:
Global - total CDN data transfer across all platforms, media types, and countries combined.
By platform - CDN Data Transfer split by Desktop, Bot, Mobile, and Tablet, showing where your audience is coming from.
By media type - CDN Data Transfer split between Images and Video.
Data saved - the bandwidth reduced thanks to optimization, showing your direct cost and speed savings
By country - CDN Data Transfer by country, with the top countries shown individually and the rest grouped into "Other."
How to read it:
- If total CDN Data Transfer = 15.9 GB
- And data saved = 8 GB
- That means without us, you'd ship 23.9 GB to visitors
- We cut it nearly in half!
SECTION: CDN PERFORMANCE
CDN TTFB shows how quickly SpeedSize starts delivering your media after a visitor's request, measured at the network level, displayed as P50 (the typical experience for most visitors), P75, and P95 (a smaller share of visitors with a slower experience, often due to specific regions or devices).
Understanding the three measurements:
| Metric | Meaning | Simple Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| P50 | Median speed | 50% of requests load this fast - your typical speed |
| P75 | Good speed | 75% of requests load this fast - most of your traffic |
| P95 | Slowest requests | 95% load this fast - even slow requests are usually OK |
Delivery Health tracks delivery outcomes and cache efficiency across all requests over time, switchable between two views:
- HTTP codes — breaks responses into 2xx (successful deliveries), 3xx (redirects), and 4xx (errors, usually broken or missing content); a higher-than-expected 4xx count is worth checking with your team for broken or outdated links.
- Cache hit ratio — the percentage of requests served directly from SpeedSize's cache rather than fetched fresh from your origin; a higher ratio means faster delivery and less load on your servers, and temporary dips after a deployment or cache clear are normal and recover naturally.
Cache Efficiency: What % of requests were served from fast cache vs. fetched from your origin.
The numbers:
- 🟢 High hit rate (90%+) = mostly cached = faster, less server load
- 🔴 High miss rate (10%+) = mostly from origin = slower, more load
What's normal:
- Dips after deployments/cache clears = expected (cache "warms up" on its own)
- Consistent high miss rate = worth investigating
Analogy:
- Cache = local convenience store (instant access)
- Origin = warehouse (takes time to fetch)
- High cache hit = shopping at convenience store = fast! ✅
Requests tracks how often your media is being served to visitors, broken down by platform, media type, format, or location - useful for spotting traffic spikes, whether from a successful campaign or unexpected activity worth a closer look.
Choose the breakdown that helps you:
Total Requests -Shows overall CDN request count.
By Platform- Requests split by device type.
By Media Type - Requests split between Images and Videos.
By Format - Requests by specific format (JPEG, WebP, AVIF, MP4, etc.).
By Country - Top 9 countries individually, rest grouped as "Other".
SECTION: LIBRARY & STORAGE
Files: tracks the number of original files versus automatically generated transformations and outputs delivered by SpeedSize — Originals, Transformations, Outputs, and AI Generations. Only original files count toward your plan, no matter how many additional versions are generated.
Understanding each line:
| Type | What it is | Billed? | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Originals | Your source files | ✅ YES | photo.jpg (as you uploaded) |
| Transformations | Resized/cropped versions created automatically | ❌ NO | thumbnail version, different aspect ratio |
| Outputs | Final format conversions delivered to visitors | ❌ NO | optimized for desktop, mobile, WebP format, etc. |
| AI Generations | AI-powered enhancements and transformations | ✅ YES | 2x resolution for high-DPI screens, upscale (4x resolution), enhance (quality enhancement with AI), background removal (make background transparent with AI) |
Duplicate Files: shows exact copies of your original files automatically detected and tracked by SpeedSize for visibility - these do not count toward your plan.
Storage: shows the total size of your files over time, shown for visibility only — this does not count toward your plan.
📌 IMPORTANT: Storage size has NO impact on billing. Only original files count toward what you pay.
What to watch:
- 📈 Rising line = library growing (expected for active sites)
- 🎯 Peak storage = highest size reached (useful for understanding infrastructure needs)
SECTION: MOST REQUESTED MEDIA
Top 10 Files: ranks which of your visitors' most-requested media files by request volume — successfully delivered files over 10 KB. Hover over any thumbnail to see its full URL, or click it to jump straight to that asset in the Asset Manager.

Why it matters:
- Optimize the files most visitors see
- Spot unexpected top performers
- Identify outdated assets still getting traffic
What to do:
- Make sure top 10 assets are fast (check CDN Performance if any are slow)
- Refresh old assets that are still popular
- Investigate if old content unexpectedly appears in top 10
