If your site exceeds these usage quotas, we may not be able to serve your site, or you may receive a polite email from Support GitHub suggesting strategies for reducing your site's impact on our servers, including putting a third-party content distribution network (CDN) in front of your site, making use of other GitHub features such as releases, or moving to a different hosting service that might better fit your needs.
