商品描述
The web has become one of the most influential systems shaping our lives. It connects billions of people every day, yet this convenience carries an impact we rarely see. The energy used to design, build, host, and use digital products affects both people and the planet, even though most of that impact is invisible, widely distributed, and easy to underestimate.
Your website or application may only represent a small fraction of the total, but the scale of the web means that every improvement matters. And even if sustainability is not your first motivation, the same decisions that lower environmental impact usually improve performance, accessibility, user trust, and long term maintainability. Better for people, better for organisations, better for the planet.
Building the Sustainable Web takes you through the entire digital stack and shows where impact happens, why it matters, and how to make meaningful progress. From infrastructure choices and backend architecture to frontend performance, UX design, content strategy, and marketing practices, this book gives you practical ways to make digital products lighter, faster, and more responsible. It also explains what we can measure today, what remains uncertain, and how to navigate that complexity without getting stuck.
You Will:
- Learn how the web's physical footprint works and where its energy and emissions come from
- Learn to estimate the impact of websites and web applications using today's best available models
- Understand How backend and infrastructure decisions influence performance, cost, and sustainability
- Explore how to design and build frontend experiences that are faster, lighter, and more inclusive
- Learn how to build workflows and governance that keep websites efficient over time
This Book is for:
Anyone involved in creating, managing, or maintaining websites and web applications. This includes frontend and backend developers, infrastructure engineers, UX and UI designers, product managers, content strategists, SEO and marketing teams
商品描述(中文翻譯)
網路已成為塑造我們生活的最具影響力的系統之一。它每天連接著數十億人，但這種便利性帶來的影響卻是我們很少看到的。設計、建造、託管和使用數位產品所消耗的能源影響著人類和地球，儘管這些影響大多是看不見的、廣泛分佈的，且容易被低估。
您的網站或應用程式可能僅代表總體的一小部分，但網路的規模意味著每一個改進都很重要。即使可持續性不是您的首要動機，通常降低環境影響的決策也會改善性能、可及性、用戶信任和長期可維護性。對人類更好，對組織更好，對地球更好。
《建立可持續的網路》將帶您了解整個數位堆疊，展示影響發生的地方、為何重要以及如何取得有意義的進展。從基礎設施選擇和後端架構到前端性能、用戶體驗設計、內容策略和行銷實踐，本書提供了實用的方法來使數位產品更輕、更快且更負責任。它還解釋了我們今天可以測量的內容、仍然不確定的部分，以及如何在不陷入困境的情況下導航這種複雜性。
您將：
- 了解網路的實體足跡如何運作，以及其能源和排放的來源
- 學會使用當前最佳可用模型來估算網站和網路應用程式的影響
- 理解後端和基礎設施決策如何影響性能、成本和可持續性
- 探索如何設計和建造更快、更輕且更具包容性的前端體驗
- 學會如何建立工作流程和治理，以保持網站的效率
本書適合：
任何參與創建、管理或維護網站和網路應用程式的人士，包括前端和後端開發人員、基礎設施工程師、用戶體驗和界面設計師、產品經理、內容策略師、SEO和行銷團隊。
