With this talk we will dive into the intersection of web performance optimisation and environmental conservation, focusing on how improving Web Vitals — key indicators of a website's health and user experience — can lead to a more sustainable digital footprint. We will explore the core Web Vitals: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and how these metrics influence not only the user experience but also the efficiency of web resources. Finally we'll discuss the direct and indirect environmental impacts of web operations, including energy consumption of data centres to transmission networks to the billions of connected devices that we hold in our hands, while taking a look at tools that help us calculate a web application's footprint.

During the months of isolation I had to find a way to keep myself sane and productive. That’s why I decided to build a planning tool as a side project. In this talk I’m going to share with you some facts about a journey that started with some lines of HTML and ended up as a cross platform app (Android, iOS, macOS, Web) with thousands of registered users around the world.
Some insights from a dev that has been in the shoes of both a candidate but also an interviewer.
