Frequently Asked Questions

The carbon footprint of a website is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted due to the energy used to serve, transmit, and view that website. This includes data centre servers, network infrastructure, and the user's device. Every byte of data transferred has an associated carbon cost, primarily from electricity generation.

For the Quick URL Check, we use the public Website Carbon API which evaluates the page size, energy source, and other factors to compute carbon per visit. In Manual Mode, we apply a standard carbon intensity factor (0.002 g CO₂ per KB) for grid energy, or a fraction for green hosts, and multiply by your page size and monthly traffic.

The estimation gives a reasonable indication of your website’s carbon intensity. However, it relies on models and average emission factors. Actual emissions depend on real-time energy mix, server efficiency, caching, and user device. For precise accounting, use comprehensive life-cycle assessment tools.

Green hosting means the data centre uses electricity from renewable sources or purchases carbon offsets. This drastically reduces the operational carbon footprint of your website. Look for providers certified by The Green Web Foundation.

Key steps include: reduce page weight (optimize images, minify code), choose efficient fonts, implement caching, use a CDN, switch to a green host, and design for dark mode. Even small changes can significantly cut energy use over thousands of visits.

The internet accounts for about 3.7% of global greenhouse emissions — similar to the airline industry. As digital presence grows, so does its environmental impact. Reducing your website's footprint helps combat climate change and often improves performance and user experience.
