To estimate the network bandwidth required in order to allowlist and run the Web Governance crawler (monsidobot), consider the following:

*   Monsidobot's standard scanning speed
*   Your average webpage size

For every page included in the scan, monsidobot makes two HTTP requests:

*   One standard `GET` request
*   One request to Puppeteer for rendering and accessibility checks 

Monsidobot makes two requests per second. The bandwith required is:

`2 x (average page size in MB) per second`
