Data in website CO2 emission estimation process

Data collection and analysis

Our AI algorithms can gather data on various aspects of website operation, including server energy consumption, data transmission, user interactions, and code efficiency. By analyzing this data, we can identify patterns and determine the carbon footprint associated with each component.

Predictive modeling

Our AI can employ predictive modeling techniques to forecast the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of a website based on different scenarios, such as changes in traffic volume, hardware upgrades, or software optimizations.

Algorithmic efficiency optimization

Our AI algorithms can optimize the efficiency of website code and server operations to minimize energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This can include techniques such as code minification, image optimization, and server load balancing.

Carbon offset recommendations

We can analyze data on carbon offsetting options, such as renewable energy investments or reforestation projects, and recommend suitable strategies to offset the CO2 emissions associated with website operations.

Benchmarking and comparison

Our AI can benchmark website CO2 emissions against industry standards and compare them with similar websites to provide insights into areas for improvement and optimization.

Already have a website and curious how much CO2 your website emits?


Estimate your website for FREE

An average website produces 4.61 grams of CO2 for every page view. For websites that have an average of 10,000 page views per month, that makes 55 kilograms of CO2 per year. Everything starts with a free assessment of your webpage's CO2 emission. 

Machine Learning (ML) algorithms we use in our estimation process?

Our Machine Learning models trained on historical data of around 1.000.000 websites to estimate the carbon footprint of website operations based on various input parameters such as server specifications, traffic volume, and user behavior patterns. These models can provide accurate predictions of CO2 emissions and identify factors contributing most significantly to environmental impact.

Regression analysis

Regression models can be trained to predict website energy consumption based on factors such as server specifications, traffic volume, and user interactions.

Multiple decision Trees

Decision tree algorithms can identify patterns in website data and categorize factors that contribute to CO2 emissions, such as high-resolution media content.

Random forest  

Random forest algorithms can aggregate predictions from multiple decision trees to improve the accuracy of CO2 emission estimates and identify complex interactions.

Gradient boosting  

Gradient boosting algorithms can optimize predictive models by iteratively improving prediction accuracy, leading to more precise estimation.

Deep Learning algorithms in our process

  • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): CNNs can analyze images and multimedia content on websites to identify resource-intensive elements that contribute to CO2 emissions, such as large image files or videos.
  • Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): RNNs can analyze sequential data, such as user interactions or server logs, to detect patterns and anomalies that impact website energy consumption.

Clustering and anomaly detection

  • Clustering algorithms, such as k-means or hierarchical clustering, can group website components based on similarities in energy consumption patterns, enabling targeted optimization strategies.
  • Anomaly detection algorithms, such as Isolation Forest or One-Class SVM, can identify unusual patterns in website data that may indicate inefficiencies or abnormalities in energy usage.
