Measure the ecological impact of websites you visit in real-time
EcoSurf Analyser is a browser extension that displays the ecological score of any webpage directly in your browser's navigation bar. See at a glance whether a website is environmentally friendly or not!
With the growing environmental impact of digital technologies, understanding the carbon footprint of the websites we visit is crucial. EcoSurf Analyser makes this information accessible with a simple grading system from A (eco-friendly) to G (high impact).

- When you visit a website, EcoSurf contacts the EcoIndex API to check if that site has been analyzed
- If data exists, you'll see the ecological score (A-G) in your browser's toolbar
- If no data exists, EcoSurf requests a new analysis from the EcoIndex API
- Using a smart heuristic approach, the extension will periodically check for new results
EcoSurf Analyser integrates with the EcoIndex API, which measures:
- Page weight

- Server requests
- And many other factors that impact a site's carbon footprint
