Google Sites Information
Google Sites automatically provides SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates for all websites created on the platform. This means that your Google Site is secured with HTTPS by default, without any additional setup or cost required
Google Sites does not have any stated bandwidth limits. However, there are some important considerations regarding its usage and potential limitations:
Google Drive Integration: Google Sites are hosted using Google Drive, which means they are essentially treated as Drive files1.
API Limitations: While not directly related to bandwidth, Google Drive API has usage quotas that could potentially affect high-traffic sites. These quotas include:
12,000 queries per 60 seconds
12,000 queries per 60 seconds per user1
Reliability: Google Sites offers 99.9% uptime with no specified bandwidth limits
