Yes, the vast majority of websites produce more carbon than they should. If you want a website which produces less carbon, use 100% green hosting and improve your page load speed. This results in less carbon produced when your web pages are opened and will improve your core web vitals.

Do I need an eco friendly website?

It doesn’t cost the earth to build an environmentally friendly website. You can have a website built for your business that is both low carbon generating and is fast loading for Google, for no more than you would pay an agency for the same website.

Low carbon … Low cost

Eco Optimise Professional Web Development

Hiring a website designer to build a website for you can be a great investment. A good designer will consider all aspects of the build, including, your targeted keywords & how search engines index your pages, the structured hierarchy of pages, internal navigation, the user experience, calls to action, the mobile responsiveness of the site, the design & so much more. Having your site built by a skilled developer/designer will get results and improve your bottom line.

Organic search results are free advertising for your business. You can take advantage of this free business marketing with a simple website that showcases what you sell or the services you offer.

To rank your pages on Google for specific search terms, you need to consider the importance of the ranking factors Google uses to put your web pages where they think they should be in search results. Mobile first indexing gives more priority to your pages performance on mobile devices than on desktop devices. This is why Google created Core Web Vitals, a number of measurements taken from real-world interactions with your pages. These measurements can be tracked by anyone by using a Google tool called Page Speed Insights. This is where we shine.

Responsible lower carbon emissions

Faster websites have less carbon impact because they require less energy to become interactive on your computer, tablet or phone. The reduction is significant. The internet infrastructure draws huge amounts of power which results in the production of CO2 (by 2025 it is estimated the communications industry will be using 20% of the world’s electricity).

If all websites were as fast as the one you are viewing now, the impact could be greatly reduced. We all want to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and this is one way that you as a business owner can contribute. We need the internet, so let’s make it cleaner. This website is hosted by Krystal Hosting UK, one of the leaders in 100% green hosting.

Website carbon emissions can be measured based on a number of metrics similar to those used by Google to rate performance. This means that if your core web vitals performance, SEO elements & hosting are rated well, you automatically have a cleaner, greener website.
