UX Design
Creating an accessible user experience that is free from barriers or intrusions helps people find what they need and accomplish tasks quickly. This is important because end consumer device use can potentially account for up to 52% of a digital product or service's overall emissions. Here are a few recommendations for providing your users with a better experience.
Improve Page Rendering
Studies have shown that users leave pages that don't display content quickly. "Above-the-fold" page content should render on a user's device in 2.5 seconds or less. This is especially crucial in low-bandwidth areas and for users with older devices.
Render Blocking Resources100 / 100
Great job! You have no render blocking scripts or stylesheets on this page.
Largest Contentful Paint100 / 100
Nice work. This page renders quickly for users.
Additional Resources

Page Interactions
Pages that respond slowly or don't respond as expected to user interactions—like button clicks, taps, key presses, form inputs, and so on—use more energy and frustrate users. This can be attributed to a number of things, some of which are outlined here.
Cumulative Layout Shift100 / 100
Nice work. This page scored 100 for no detectable page layout shifts. Page elements that shift while a user interacts with them are not only annoying but can potentially waste energy too. This is especially true if a user must redo tasks because of shift-induced mistakes they made.
Offscreen Images100 / 100
Great work. All the images on this page have been lazy loaded.
Max Potential First Input Delay100 / 100
Nice work. We couldn't detect any interaction delays.

Optimize Content for Search
Pages that employ SEO best practices help people more quickly find content, reducing energy used while searching. Search-optimized pages also tend to be more accessible and work across a wider array of devices and platforms. This reduces the amount of energy (and frustration) users expend when barriers exist.
SEO Score100 / 100
Since search is contextual, it is difficult to estimate precisely how much good SEO practices reduce page-based emissions. Google says a single search can power a lightbulb for 17 seconds. However, given the global volume of daily searches, anything you can do to reduce energy expended by helping people more quickly find content is useful.
Additional Resources
Accessibility
Accessible pages tend to work across a wider array of devices and platforms, including assistive technologies used by people with disabilities. Prioritizing accessibility reduces the amount of energy (and frustration) users expend when barriers exist. Plus, it's just the right thing to do.
Accessibility Score100 / 100
An automated crawler like Ecograder can only catch about one-third of total possible accessibility issues on any given page. Plus, emissions estimates related to the ecological impact of accessible content are difficult to quantify. However, truly sustainable solutions are good for people and planet. Because of this, we include web accessibility in Ecograder's scoring algorithm.

Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy
A long cache lifetime can speed up repeat visits to your page.
Long cache100 / 100
Well done! You are using an efficient cache policy on static assets.

Image elements do not have explicit width and height
Set an explicit width and height on image elements to reduce layout shifts and improve CLS.
Unsized images100 / 100
Nice job! Your images have explicit width and height attributes set. This helps to prevent cumulative layout shift, which improves user experience and search rankings.
Additional Resources
Read why setting width and height on images benefits your users
Avoid multiple page redirects
Page redirects cause slower page speeds. Pages are flagged if they have two or more redirects. To prevent this, look at the list of redirects and update links to point directly to each resource’s actual location. This will cut out unnecessary redirecting and reduce load times.
Page redirects100 / 100
Great job. Your page doesn't contain two or more redirects and is optimized for load time based on pointing your resources directly to the actual location.
Additional Resources
Use passive listeners to improve scrolling performance
Consider marking your touch and wheel event listeners as ‘passive’ to improve your page’s scroll performance.
Passive event listeners100 / 100
Great job! Your page does not use "active" touch and wheel event listeners, which can hurt your page's scroll performance.

Reduce Server Requests
Every time your page makes a server request, energy is required to transfer and display data. Reducing the number of requests your pages make can improve performance and reduce emissions.
Total Byte Weight99 / 100
With a score of 99out of 100, your page makes only 10server requests. This score is good but there are some opportunities for improvement. Try to find more opportunities to reduce server requests.

Green Hosting
Choosing a web host that powers its servers with renewable energy can reduce your digital product or service's environmental impact by an estimated 15%. But not all renewable energy is created equal. If possible, choose a hosting partner that directly powers their data centers with renewables versus one that purchases offsets or unbundled renewable energy credits (RECs).
Green Hosting
Powering servers with renewable energy is an important choice to measurably reduce your product or service's environmental impact.
Green Hosting100 / 100
Excellent! It looks like this page uses a web host that powers its servers with renewable energy.
