Sustainable means performant
summary
Claim: an average website emits 1.76 g CO2 per page view, so 100k monthly visits become ~2,112 kg CO2/year and the internet ranks like the seventh largest polluter. Specific fixes: Gatsby.js with incremental builds to avoid repeated server renders, asset savings from reduced fonts and images, service worker caching that yields near‑zero transmission on repeat visits, plus green hosting with low PUE and CDN placement. A statically built PWA plus those ops changes demonstrably cuts measured emissions.
