Wow. So it's free if he shut down the site last week?

Crazy how good your solution is. No, bandwidth is far from free.

He might have had to change hosting providers, and/or stick a new CDN in front, but for tiny (80 KB all told) client-side webapps like this with no database backend it's entirely feasible to host it for free pretty much indefinitely.

Not all providers bill for network usage, you can also pay a flat fee for a fixed upload speed or a soft cap at a certain limit.
