In an interview with our hosting partner RAIDBOXES, we explain why sustainability is so important in the WordPress & WooCommerce sector and what you should pay attention to.
Websites and online stores with WordPress that are CO₂ optimized? Our partner agency ecombee does just that. As a particularly sustainable web host, the topic of “green” WordPress is close to our hearts. That’s why we asked Patrick Losert from ecombee how web projects can be planned more ecologically.
Patrick, you design CO₂-optimized websites and online stores with WordPress. What are the key levers in your work to make the results more sustainable?

From small websites and market validation landing pages to large community, SaaS and online store solutions. Some worked more and some less well in terms of performance, usability, integration and maintainability.
During this time, however, performance and maintainability became the most important issues. And performance and easy maintenance are usually accompanied by less traffic and server utilization, which in turn means less energy consumption of the infrastructure, i.e. a positive effect in terms of CO₂ emissions (simply put, the whole construct is of course much more complex)…
