Sustainability

Hosting and delivery

The site is pre-built as static files and served by nginx: no per-visit rendering, no database query behind a page view. Hosting is OVH, with Cloudflare caching in front, so repeat visits are served from cache rather than the origin. The machine-readable version of this statement lives at /carbon.txt.

Lightweight by design

Assets are pre-compressed at publish time and cached immutably, so repeat visits transfer almost nothing new. Fonts are self-hosted, icons are inline SVG, and images are resized at build time. There is no advertising, no third-party tracking, no auto-playing media. Search runs on a pre-built local index, and the search code loads only when first used.

Analytics

When enabled, analytics is self-hosted Matomo — no data is sold or shared with ad networks. See the privacy page for details.

Supply chain

Beyond OVH (hosting) and Cloudflare (CDN), this site has no other runtime infrastructure provider. Both publish their own environmental data:

• OVHcloud environmental data — efficiency indicators, carbon balance, and sustainability statement
• Cloudflare Impact — annual emissions inventories and Impact Report

Limits

Static does not mean zero-carbon: networks, devices, and datacenters still consume energy, and the visitor’s device dominates the footprint of a page view. The statements above describe the architecture, not measured grams of CO₂.
