For all the comments that say “the real problem is…”: this is crisis and working on all emission sources contributes to a solution not just the biggest emitters.

Everything we online has an impact in the real world and there’s some value in reminding people that. And yes, some sites could be causing a lot emissions than others.

Some are powered by solar, others by coal.

ARM chips are more energy efficient than x86 and so on.

We can have a real impact by focusing hard enough on 0.00001% of the problem!

Oh wait, no, we can't.

There are lots folks and lots of problems. We don’t have to focus. We can work on many aspects at the same time, big and small.

HTTP, serving properly tagged semantic HTML file, with optional styling via CSS, and if you really want JavaScript for animations and live updates.

Thank you.

I've never seen an example of "properly tagged semantic HTML" or truly optional CSS outside of toy examples meant to illustrate the concept.

But it doesn't matter, because serving website content is an utterly insignificant to contributor to global warming.

A lot of websites use html tags correctly, especially some of the better news websites

BBC is good example of semantic web

Virtue signalling at its worst. It's completely meaningless.

I wouldn’t visit a website that had that, and if it was a company, I’d stop using their product.
