When it comes to web optimization and "getting things just right" - you're never entirely done. But, when it comes to optimizing our website's carbon footprint, we're done for now!

We are happy to report that our homepage is cleaner than 94% of webpages globally! That means an A+ from Website Carbon, an A from Ecograder, and scores of 90+ from PageSpeed Insights!

... Now, onto optimizing our other websites. 😉🌎

Web Sustainability Guidelines (WSG) 1.0

Web Sustainability Guidelines (WSG) 1.0 covers a wide range of recommendations for making websites and products more sustainable. Following these guidelines which utilize planetary, people, and prosperity (PPP) principles throughout the decision-making processes, you can minimize your environmental impact through a mixture of user-centered design, performant web development, renewable infrastructure, sustainable business strategy, and (with metrics) various combinations of those mentioned. It should be noted that these guidelines will not address every possible mechanism or strategy to become sustainable, as such, these guidelines (which are notably Web orientated and focused) should be seen as a starting point in a sustainability journey (coverage does not extend for example to manufacturing or shipping of physical products). Following these guidelines will often make Web content more accessible, usable, and performant as a by-product.
