Globemallow is a browser extension that produces detailed sustainability reports on the energy consumption and estimated carbon output of any webpage.

How is Web Sustainability Measured?

  1. Energy Consumption: The primary factor is the electricity consumption of bytes transferred.
  2. CO2 Emissions: Energy consumption data is used to estimate the carbon footprint of the website.

Why Use Globemallow?

  1. Extension Format: View reports directly on the page without opening a new tab or window.
  2. Detailed Reports: Break down elements of the page contributing to power consumption and the overall digital footprint.
  3. Sustainability Grade: Each site tested receives a grade to quickly see its overall digital footprint.
  4. Suggested Improvements: Recommendations are provided for each element, highlighting where sites excel or fall short.

How the Sustainability Grade is Calculated:

  1. Page Weight: Total size of the page uploaded to the server.
  2. Background Color: Darker backgrounds consume less energy.
  3. Image Format and Size: Some formats are more energy-intensive than others.
  4. Green Hosting: Hosting that uses renewable energy sources scores higher.
