The internet accounts for an estimated 3–4% of global emissions — equivalent to some countries. The carbon emissions of the internet are roughly equivalent to those generated by the entire aviation industry, or the whole of Africa. For example, changing our database architecture to be more efficient could save on server costs.

In short, we’re talking about a mechanism that defers the network traffic necessary to load content when it’s needed — or rather when trigger the load when the content enters the viewport. Today's websites are packed with heavy media assets like images and videos. The benefit?

This metric shows how much time it takes for the server to respond with something. This metric is important, but quite vague because it can include anything — starting from server rendering time and ending up with latency problems. This saves clients traffic — sometimes traffic which the client is paying for.
