Resources for Sustainable Websites

Written by Tim Eaton

I’ve recently become more interested in how much pollution the internet causes - I’ve known about this in general, but I’ve started learning to implement a few best practices in my work. Here are a few resources that have come in handy for me:

The Sustainable Web Manifesto A basic guide to the ethics of sustainable web development.

sustainable.dev Offers various techniques for different platforms to reduce your carbon imprint, like Lazy loading – without JavaScript.

Website Carbon Calculator Estimate your site’s current carbon imprint.

The Green Web Foundation Search for green web hosting services by type.

Lighthouse How to assess website performance with Lighthouse in Chrome DevTools.

I’m still learning, but these are some good places to start!
