What does the audit consist of?
A website sustainability audit focuses on reducing the environmental impact of your digital presence while enhancing its efficiency. Here’s what it includes:
1. Carbon Footprint Assessment
We measure the energy your website uses, including factors such as hosting services, page load speeds, and data transfer volumes. This helps to calculate your site’s environmental impact and identify ways to reduce it.
2. Hosting Review
We assess whether your hosting provider uses renewable energy or offers green hosting options. Switching to a sustainable host can significantly lower your site’s carbon footprint.
3. Performance Optimisation
Efficient websites use fewer resources. We check for unnecessary scripts, excessive code, and slow-loading elements, offering solutions like minimising CSS and JavaScript, enabling browser caching, and improving server response times.
4. Image and Media Efficiency
Large image and video files increase data transfer and energy usage. We review your media usage and recommend tools such as compression, lazy loading, and WebP formats to minimise their environmental impact.
5. Data Usage Analysis
Outdated or excessive content increases storage needs and energy consumption. We review your site’s structure and suggest ways to streamline data, such as removing redundant files and optimising databases.
6. Mobile and Accessibility Optimisation
Websites optimised for mobile devices and accessibility are more resource-efficient. We ensure your site has responsive design, efficient mobile performance, and meets accessibility standards.
7. Integration of Energy-Efficient Features
We recommend design and functionality adjustments, such as lighter fonts, energy-efficient plugins, and streamlined layouts, to reduce energy consumption without compromising usability.
A website sustainability audit doesn’t just benefit the environment—it can also make your site faster, reduce operational costs, and improve the user experience.
