A fast website means fewer resources and less weight: the planet and your users will thank you!
Our web performance experts reduce your website's carbon footprint
The web accounts for 1-2% of global CO2 emissions
According to the associations Greenpeace and The Shift Project, the Internet is responsible for 1 to 2% of CO2 emissions on the planet. The explosion of video streaming is largely responsible (60%), with an impressive annual growth of 9%. More traditional uses of the Internet, starting with viewing websites and online applications, still play an important role.
The environmental cost of data centers, network infrastructures, and consultation terminals (computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.) is far from neutral, both for their manufacturing and in terms of energy consumption. Given the ecological crisis that is unfolding day by day, it is urgent to act. Global warming is already a reality that we must deal with, whether we like it or not.
3 tools to measure your site's energy performance
The lighter a site is, the less it pollutes. To calculate decarbonization gains, we use several recognized tools.
Websitecarbon
01Developed and maintained by the Wholegrain Digital teams, Websitecarbon is considered a benchmark tool for testing a site's energy impact. It is hosted on infrastructure that runs on renewable energy.
Ecograder
02Created by the agency Mightybytes, Ecograder offers more information and transparency about how its algorithm works. It also assigns a score out of 100, which can be useful for evaluating gains after optimization, for example.
GreenIT Analysis
03Prefer using a browser extension over a website? Download the Chrome or Firefox versions of the GreenIT Analysis plugin, developed by the French company EcoIndex.
