This website is carbon-aware, changing its features based on live grid intensity.

Features to allow

Our website dynamically shows or hides features based on grid intensity to reduce carbon footprint. When grid intensity is high, energy-intensive elements are minimized, ensuring an eco-friendly user experience.

Custom Fonts
We disable custom fonts during high grid intensity to reduce the energy required for rendering unique typography, minimizing data transfer and server processing.
Images
Images are hidden or optimized when grid intensity is high, cutting down on data load and energy consumption to lower the website's overall carbon impact.
Videos
Videos are turned off or replaced with static content to reduce the significant energy required for streaming, helping to minimize the website's carbon footprint.
Content Budgets
We set content budgets by limiting the number of displayed blog posts to reduce data processing and transfer, ensuring the website remains efficient and eco-friendly during periods of high grid intensity.

Custom Fonts

Images are hidden or optimized when grid intensity is high, cutting down on data load and energy consumption to lower the website's overall carbon impact.

Lower Rendering Costs
Fewer custom fonts mean reduced rendering time for web browsers, leading to lower energy use and faster page rendering.
Improved Compatibility
Using standard web fonts enhances compatibility across devices and browsers, reducing the need for complex font management and saving energy.

Images

On most websites, images are the largest contributors to page weight and energy consumption. The more images used, especially large files, the more data needs to be transferred, leading to higher energy usage. Designers and content creators should carefully consider the necessity and impact of each image to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising user experience.

Reduced Energy Consumption
Reducing image sizes lowers data transfer, leading to less energy consumption and a smaller carbon footprint for an eco-friendly website.
Faster Load Times
Fewer and smaller images improve page load times, enhancing user experience while conserving resources and reducing environmental impact.
Optimise images
Optimized images ensure the website remains visually appealing without unnecessary energy use, contributing to a more sustainable digital presence.

Videos

Images are hidden or optimized when grid intensity is high, cutting down on data load and energy consumption to lower the website's overall carbon impact.

Reduced Energy Consumption
Optimizing video use lowers data transfer and server load, leading to decreased energy consumption and a smaller carbon footprint.
Faster Load Times
By minimizing video content or using lighter alternatives, page load times are improved, enhancing user experience and conserving resources.
Conserves Resources
Limiting video use reduces the strain on server resources, contributing to a more sustainable website and a more eco-friendly digital experience.

Electricity production in Great Britain 🇬🇧

One gigawatt (GW) equals one billion watts or one thousand megawatts, representing an immense amount of energy. Typically, each GW of capacity in a power plant can supply electricity to around 650,000 average homes.

The more renewables like Hydro, Geothermal, Solar and Wind the better and greener the web will be.
