How environmentally friendly is your website? The Carbon Calculator tries to estimate this using the following factors.

Calculating the carbon emissions of a website is somewhat of a challenge, but using five key pieces of data we can make a pretty good estimate:

  1. Data transfer over the wire
  2. Energy intensity of web data
  3. Energy source used by the data centre
  4. Carbon intensity of electricity
  5. Website traffic – Website Carbon Calculator

Even though I scored a perfect 100%, you shouldn’t take the result too seriously.
