Key Takeaways

Actionable points curated for this category.

01

Design for fewer, faster assets

Consolidate styles, reuse components, and ship only what's needed per page. Fewer requests and lighter files cut energy use and bounce rates.

02

Choose efficient formats

Prefer SVG for icons and UI, AVIF/WebP for photos, and compressed MP4/WebM for short loops. Generate responsive sizes and lazy-load below the fold.

03

Right-size color and type

Limit palettes, avoid pure black on OLED, and use variable or system fonts with subsetted glyphs. Maintain WCAG contrast while reducing weight.

04

Motion with intention

Avoid autoplay video; use posters and click-to-play. Respect prefers-reduced-motion and replace heavy effects with subtle CSS transitions.

05

Delivery matters as much as design

Use a green CDN, HTTP/2 or HTTP/3, long-lived caching, and immutable URLs. Preload critical assets and defer non-critical scripts and widgets.

06

Measure, iterate, govern

Track Core Web Vitals and estimated carbon per page, audit DAM libraries, set expiry policies, and document standards in brand guidelines.
