At 10,000 views a month this page emits about 29.4 kg CO₂e a year, roughly 120 km in an average petrol car. The estimate assumes 75% new and 25% returning visitors, a measured cache reload ratio of 2%, and world-average grid intensity. How we calculate this

1. Convert and compress imagessave ~0.063 g/visit (690 kB)High impact · quick fix

   3 images (120 kB) ship in legacy formats (JPEG/PNG/GIF); 2 images exceed 300 kB apiece.

   Serve AVIF (or WebP) with responsive srcset sizes, and re-compress oversized files. AVIF typically halves JPEG weight at the same visual quality.

2. Lazy-load below-the-fold mediasave ~0.027 g/visit (298 kB)High impact · quick fix

   5 below-the-fold images/iframes (610 kB) download immediately for every visitor.

   Add loading="lazy" to below-fold img and iframe elements (and keep it off the LCP image). Browsers then fetch them only when scrolling approaches.

3. Serve images at the size they displaysave ~0.015 g/visit (168 kB)Medium impact · quick fix

   5 images are encoded at more than twice the pixels the layout shows, even accounting for this viewport's pixel density.

   Generate multiple sizes and let the browser pick with srcset/sizes; a 4000px original behind a 400px slot spends bandwidth no screen displays.

4. Reduce JavaScript payloadsave ~0.0071 g/visit (78 kB)Medium impact · moderate effort

   17 scripts total 313 kB on the wire (1.07 MB decoded). Bundles this size usually carry a lot of unused code.

   Split bundles per route, tree-shake dependencies, and audit with a bundle analyzer or coverage profile. A 25% cut is a conservative target for bundles this size.

5. Upgrade compression beyond gzipsave ~0.029 g/visit (318 kB)Advisory · quick fix

   2.12 MB of text ships gzip-compressed; Brotli or Zstandard would cut roughly another 15-20%, and browsers without them fall back to gzip automatically.

   Serve precompressed Brotli for static text assets (highest level, compressed at build time) and enable Brotli or zstd for dynamic responses; keep gzip only as the fallback.

6. Set a page-weight budgetAdvisory · moderate effort

   At 2.68 MB per view this page rates D. The findings above list where the weight is.

   Agree a transfer budget (e.g. under 975 kB reaches a B), enforce it in CI, and re-scan after each change to hold the line.
