How much carbon does a web page cost?

CO2Stats loads a page in a real browser, weighs everything it downloads and turns that into an estimate of the carbon each visit causes, using a published method.

Coming soon

The website carbon checker

The checker is being rebuilt. When it opens, enter the address of any page and it will show you:

  • the page’s total transfer size, and how it splits between images, scripts, fonts, video, CSS and HTML
  • its heaviest files and how many requests it makes
  • an estimate of the grams of CO2e each visit causes, and a grade from A+ to F
  • whether its host is verified as running on green energy
  • specific changes that would make it lighter, each with its own modelled saving

Every result will say what was measured and when. Results are estimates, and will say so.
