Getting the bandwidth consumed by a webpage?

I am using the selenium webdriver to open a webpage

vdisplay = Xvfb()
vdisplay.start()
fox = webdriver.Firefox()
fox.get(url)

Is there any way to know how much bandwidth (in mb) is consumed by the webpage on download?

use BrowserMob Proxy API for getting opened page download size and bandwidth. For python use http://browsermob-proxy-py.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

using it is simple enough For example for google page

from browsermobproxy import Server
 server = Server("path/to/browsermob-proxy")
 server.start()
 proxy = server.create_proxy()

 from selenium import webdriver
 profile  = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
 profile.set_proxy(proxy.selenium_proxy())
 driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)


proxy.new_har("google")
driver.get("http://www.google.com")
proxy.har # returns a HAR JSON blob

server.stop()
driver.quit()

At last put data from proxy.har to a harviewer like http://www.softwareishard.com/har/viewer/
