Frequently Asked Questions

How is carbon footprint calculated?
We estimate CO2 emissions based on data transferred per page view. The formula uses approximately 0.2g CO2 per MB, which accounts for data center energy, network transmission, and end-user device energy.
What is the average web page size?
According to HTTP Archive data, the median web page is about 2.5MB. Pages under this size are considered more environmentally friendly.
How can I reduce my website carbon footprint?
Optimize images, use lazy loading, minify CSS/JS, enable compression (gzip/brotli), and use a CDN. Smaller page sizes mean less energy consumed per visit.
What does the annual estimate assume?
The annual CO2 estimate assumes 10,000 monthly page views. Scale the number up or down based on your actual traffic.
How does this tool fetch page data?
Our servers fetch the URL you provide and measure the total data transferred, including HTML, compression status, and content type. This is the same data that real visitors download.
Does green hosting reduce carbon footprint?
Yes. Hosting providers that use renewable energy significantly reduce the carbon impact of data transfer. Combined with page optimization, green hosting can make your website nearly carbon-neutral.
Can I check pages behind a login?
No. The tool can only analyze publicly accessible URLs. Pages behind authentication or firewalls cannot be reached by our servers.
