 Calculating the carbon emissions of a website is a complex task. However, extensive work over the years has led to the development and refinement of a methodology designed to tackle this challenge. The primary goal of this effort is to raise awareness and promote eco-friendly practices within the web design industry. Calculating the carbon emissions of a website is a complex task.

 The original website carbon calculator was developed several years ago, and since then, its methodology has undergone several iterations. The developers now aim to standardize the approach to website carbon calculations, hoping this will enhance clarity, understanding, and help prevent greenwashing. For the third version of their methodology, they partnered with industry peers to conduct research and develop an updated, coordinated approach. The original website carbon calculator was developed several years ago, and since then, its methodology has undergone several iterations.

 - **Website traffic:** By combining all this information, the emissions associated with an average user visit to a website are estimated. The total annual CO2 emissions are then calculated by multiplying the carbon per page view by the typical number of annual page views. - **Website traffic:** By combining all this information, the emissions associated with an average user visit to a website are estimated.
