Sustainable E-commerce Lab
The internet is responsible for significant global carbon emissions. This research project in the Forge Lab explores how to build "Carbon-Neutral" storefronts by optimizing asset delivery and reducing computational load.
The Challenge
Modern websites are "heavy," requiring massive amounts of energy to load and render, contributing to digital carbon footprints.
Our Implementation
Techniques like "Dark-Mode First" design, SVG-only iconography, and server-side component rendering to minimize client-side energy consumption.
Strategic Insights
Switching from raster to vector reduces payload by up to 90%
Minimizing API calls reduces server-side energy waste
Static Site Generation (SSG) provides the lowest energy profile
