I read that the Protectstar website is energy efficient. I would like to know more about it.

At Protectstar™, our commitment goes beyond developing innovative security apps — we place just as much importance on sustainability, environmental awareness, and energy conservation. These principles guide both the design and operation of our official website.
 

Why the Internet Consumes So Much Energy

A 2021 study uncovered a startling fact: the internet now generates more greenhouse gases than air travel and accounts for about 10% of the world’s total energy consumption. This massive energy use significantly contributes to global CO₂ emissions, which is why it’s essential for businesses and users alike to take responsibility.
 

Protectstar™’s Approach to a Greener Online Presence

We’ve taken several steps to minimize the carbon footprint of our website, https://www.protectstar.com:

100% Renewable Energy
Our website is powered entirely by sustainable, renewable energy sources. This approach drastically reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and cuts emissions.

Data and Load-Time Optimization
We carefully trim the data size on each page, ensuring efficient loading with minimal resource consumption. This optimization not only enhances your user experience but also reduces the environmental impact per visit.
 

What This Means in Practice

As of January 2023, our website is cleaner than 94% of all tested sites, producing just 0.07 g of CO₂ per visit. With approximately 100,000 monthly page views, that totals 48.74 kg of CO₂ per year.

  • Carbon Sequestration by Trees: Three trees could absorb this amount of CO₂ in a year.
  • Energy Consumption: Our site uses 127 kWh of energy per year, enough to power an average home in the U.S. for about 5 days, or in Germany for 12 days.
  • Electric Car Range: This energy could charge an electric vehicle to drive 814 kilometers.
     

How We Compare

Protectstar™’s energy consumption stands out favorably when compared with other major websites:

  • Twitter.com: 1.55 g CO₂ per visit (20 times higher)
  • Apple.com: 0.82 g CO₂ per visit (12 times higher)
  • Samsung.com: 0.57 g CO₂ per visit (8 times higher)
  • Dell.com: 0.41 g CO₂ per visit (6 times higher)

Even Greenpeace.org, known for its energy-efficient site at 0.10 g CO₂ per visit, emits 1.4 times more CO₂ than we do.
 

Why It Matters

By generating just 0.07 g of CO₂ per page load, we’re demonstrating our genuine commitment to protecting the environment. It shows that user-friendly, modern websites can also be developed and maintained responsibly, with minimal resource use. For us at Protectstar™, climate protection is not an option — it’s a responsibility. Our energy-efficient website is one step on our path to a climate-neutral infrastructure, proving that innovation and sustainability can indeed go hand in hand.
