A Responsible Web Starts Here

The internet consumes around 10% of the world’s electricity — and most websites still run on servers powered by fossil fuels. When I started building my own digital space, I asked myself a simple question: Can I create a website that doesn’t harm the planet? The answer: yes — if sustainability becomes part of the design.

What “Net Zero Commitment” Means, Why This Matters and The Vision Ahead.

Being Net Zero goes beyond hosting. It means designing the website to minimise energy usage and digital waste: • lightweight pages and optimised images; • efficient loading and caching systems; • no tracking or hidden energy-heavy scripts; • API requests reduced to the minimum; • static-first, streamlined structure. This approach lowers the website’s energy consumption and keeps its carbon emissions close to zero — from the first visit to every future update. Sustainability is not only a topic for environmental studies. It’s a mindset — and technology plays a key role in shaping it. By building a green website, I want to show that innovation and responsibility can work together. And that students, developers and digital creators can already act today, not “one day in the future”. This website is just one step. The goal is to keep improving its digital efficiency — and to inspire others to do the same. Soon, a dedicated page will track real-time energy usage and carbon savings over time. Because every byte saved is a step forward.
