Hey, I'm Fershad. I help environmentally conscious companies ensure their websites are fast, optimised for performance, and have a low carbon impact.
Why does website sustainability matter?I am currently working with The Green Web Foundation on the CO2.js library, as well as their other open source projects and documentation.
I write on my blog and publish Optimised, a fortnightly email newsletter about web performance. I've also written previously for WebPageTest, and Branch Magazine.
I enjoy speaking about web performance and sustainability. Find out about upcoming events, and get slides or videos from past talks.
If you'd like me to present or hold a workshop at an upcoming event, drop me a line.
I built aremythirdpartiesgreen.com to help give some visibility to the sustainability of third-party requests on the web. Use it to test your own site, and find out if the external resources being used are hosted on green infrastructure.
I write every so often on my blog about topics relating to digital sustainability and performance. You can also find case studies featuring some of the optimisation and performance work I've done for clients.

CO2.js is one of the tools we’ve created to help developers drive the transition to a fossil-free internet. This article will explain the concepts behind CO2.js, it’s uses, and when other tools might be better options to consider.
