As is the case with many other developers, the reports over the last few years of the huge energy requirements of the web have prompted me to take a look at my own websites and see what I can do to minimize their impact. But first, a confession: When I first heard about the environmental impact of websites, I didn’t quite believe it.

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.

It was heralded as an amazing performance revolution, with exciting new features such as server push, parallel streams, and prioritization. We would have been able to stop bundling resources, stop sharding our resources across multiple servers, and heavily streamline the page-loading process. Did You Know?

This occurs when you are revalidating the page on the server. For some websites this works, but for others (such as Hack Club’s Scrapbook , a site built by @lachlanjc that I help maintain), the user expects the data to be kept up to date. However, fetching large chunks of data before rendering can slow down the initial page load.

Today, creating content on the Internet is the norm, not the exception. It has never been easier to build a personalized website, digitalize a product and start seeing results. Web performance refers to the speed at which a website loads, how fast it’s downloaded, and how an app is displayed on the user’s browser. Alba Silvente.

This is because HTTP/3 and QUIC mainly help deal with the somewhat uncommon yet potentially high-impact problems that can arise on today’s Internet. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). More in-depth information is available. What Does It All Mean?

HTTP(s) Headers are key-value pairs that can be used by the client or server to pass additional information along with an HTTP(s) request or response. I tried with loads of websites to see how they behave in iframe. I observed that most of the websites don’t work in iframe due to x-frame-options and content-security-policy headers.

I wanted to simulate a slow connection like those experienced by users in Uzbekistan, to see what kind of experience websites would give me.

Like any file referenced and used on a website, it first needs to be downloaded from a server. Users can browse the Internet using slow and unreliable networks, so minification, optimization, and code-splitting of JavaScript files ensure that the user downloads the smallest file possible. import("path/to/myFunction.js").then((myFunction)
