HAAM Web Sustainability Audit
Measure the waste before calling a website green.
Audit a public webpage for transfer weight, image and media efficiency, JavaScript overhead, caching, compression, third-party dependencies, green hosting evidence, and resilient delivery. Every result shows what was measured, what remains unknown, and what to reduce first.
Method
A carbon number without evidence is weak design.
The tool uses deterministic checks rather than an AI model. It measures what a server can observe safely, states coverage, and keeps the emissions estimate separate from the actionable findings.
- 01
Measure
Read one public HTML page and collect a bounded inventory of its initial resources, declared sizes, caching, compression, and hosting evidence.
- 02
Estimate
Convert measured transfer into a transparent per-visit estimate using Sustainable Web Design Model v4 global-average factors.
- 03
Diagnose
Identify avoidable waste across media, JavaScript, third parties, delivery, hosting, and resilient cross-device use.
- 04
Reduce
Rank concrete fixes by severity and map them to the current W3C Web Sustainability Guidelines draft.
Current guidance
Web Sustainability Guidelines
Findings map to the W3C Web Sustainability Guidelines Group Note Draft published on 7 July 2026. The guidelines cover planet, people, and prosperity, so the audit includes resilience and responsible delivery alongside carbon.

Sustainable Web Design Model v4
The per-visit estimate uses measured data transfer and the model's global-average operational and embodied factors. It is a useful baseline, not a direct electricity meter.
Review the methodologyHosting evidence
Green Web Foundation verification
The hostname is checked against The Green Web Foundation dataset. A negative result means green hosting is not verified in that dataset. It does not prove fossil-powered hosting.
