How Much Energy Does Your Site Use?f

This is a tool to help you understand how much energy your website is using for every page load. The internet itself uses an extraordinary amount of energy, thanks to the technologies necessary for transferring information.

Each megabyte of data that is transferred can be said to use a certain amount of energy, which can be quantified and compared to other forms of energy consumption we're all familiar with - such as the energy used to light a light bulb.



It seems The Presurfer uses 0.0151 kWh of energy each time it is loaded. That's enough energy to light a 100W lightbulb for 9.419 seconds. Enter your website address below to find out how much energy is used each page load.
