=== Data Transfer and Bandwidth === - **Page Load Size**: Analyze the size of resources (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images) loaded during page loads. Browser developer tools or network analysis tools like Chrome DevTools or Firefox Network Monitor can provide insights.\\ - **Number of HTTP Requests**: Use browser developer tools or network analysis tools to count the number of requests made during page loads. Optimizing resources and combining files can reduce the number of requests.\\ - **Data Caching**: Implement caching strategies to reduce redundant data fetching and improve load times. Monitor cache hit rates and effectiveness to optimize caching policies. === Resource Optimization === - **Image Optimization**: Check image sizes and formats using tools like ImageOptim or online compression tools. Ensure images are appropriately sized and compressed. \\ === User Experience === - **Responsive Design**: Test the application on various devices and screen sizes to ensure responsiveness. Use browser developer tools or device simulators to simulate different environments. \\ - **Efficient Navigation**: Evaluate the number of clicks required to navigate through the application. User testing and feedback can help identify areas for improvement in navigation efficiency. \\ === Sustainable Hosting and Practices === - **Green Hosting**: Research hosting providers that prioritize renewable energy or carbon offsetting. Check provider documentation or sustainability reports for information on energy practices. \\ === Development and Build Processes === - **Code Quality**: Use code quality tools and linters to ensure clean and efficient code. Regular code reviews can help maintain code quality standards. === Monitoring and Reporting === - **Real-time Performance Monitoring**: Set up monitoring tools to track performance metrics in real-time. Use alerts and notifications to identify performance issues promptly. - **Carbon Emission Tracking**: Estimate the carbon footprint of the application based on hosting provider energy usage and user traffic. Use carbon footprint calculators or sustainability metrics provided by hosting services.
