Reducing your digital environmental impact
In an era where the internet significantly contributes to overall CO2 emissions, the importance of developing sustainable web applications cannot be emphasized enough.
Our Website Carbon Footprint Calculator analyzes the size of a page, providing an estimate of the associated carbon emissions. Explore the environmental cost of your online activities and discover ways to reduce your digital carbon footprint.
Calculation method
Our CO2 emissions estimates rely on the Sustainable Web Design (SWD) model implemented through the CO2.js JavaScript library, developed by the Green Web Foundation. The methodology employs kWh/GB as a key metric, factoring in energy consumption, carbon intensity, and data center energy. For those interested in the technical details, the SWD(opens in new window) model and CO2.js(opens in new window) library offer in-depth insights .
It's crucial to recognize that the presented CO2 emissions values are approximations due to the absence of a universally approved standard for calculating web-related environmental impact. As the field evolves, we are committed to adapting our methodologies to align with emerging official standards, ensuring the continual refinement of our calculations.
