Green Web Hosting and Website Carbon
What makes hosting genuinely green, why page weight matters more than the server, and the changes that cut a site's footprint most.
Questions people ask
How much CO₂ does a page view produce?
Roughly 0.2 to 1.5 g for a typical page, depending almost entirely on page weight. A heavy page with video and trackers can be ten times a lean one.
Does dark mode save energy?
On OLED screens, yes — black pixels are switched off. On LCD, no; the backlight is on regardless.
Does this page work offline?
Yes, after the first visit. The service worker caches it, so the guide stays available with no connection.
