How green is your website? EcoGrader,
a free web service, poses this question in an effort to measure the
eco-friendliness of websites. Citing the fact that today, 50 million
computer servers contribute to 5% of the planet’s total greenhouse gas
emissions, EcoGrader uses factors such as hosting providers, mobile
optimization, performance and more to assess the greenness of websites.
The simple to use platform only requires a website and email address to
calculate a raw score of the greenness of a site.EcoGrader
offers practical solutions for websites to reduce their environmental
wear and tear, like using a green hosting provider that uses 100%
renewable energy or avoiding the use of flash media files. [Source: EcoGrader]
