How Your Bundle Size Affects The Climate
summary
Web payloads matter: the average website is four times bigger than 10 years ago, and measuring with website carbon.com shows concrete impact — a 10 MB bundle with 10k monthly users ≈ 1,200 kWh/year which the talk converts to 10,000 km in an EV and 28 trees. Concrete fixes include code splitting gzip CDN static sites and choosing green data centers; demos compare a 10 MB JavaScript-heavy site to a 20 KB HTML site and show huge energy and CPU differences.
