strategies to create a more energy efficient + quicker loading website

  1. Use of renewable energy to run servers
  2. Having a static website - one that will remain on the server rather than only loading when visited
  3. Reduced image size - obtained through color reduction, size reduction, dithering
  4. Using default typefaces and a text-based "logo"
  5. No trackers, Google AdSense or cookies
  6. Only use images when necessary in mobile layout
  7. Have images load only upon scrolling to their location rather than on page load (JS rendering vs. HTML rendering)
  8. Reduce use of JavaScript
  9. Reduce CSS where possible
  10. Avoid using a lot of redirects
  11. Clean up CSS and JS files, lower redundancy and weird formatting
  12. Have concise well-considered content (particularly copy)
