Hi all,
We are redesigning our documentation website (https://documentation.stormshield.eu/), and we would like it to be as much eco friendly and sustainable as possible.
We have made some research, and we know about compressing images and vidéos, selecting a green hosting provider, minimizing the use of JS and CSS files, etc.
Are there any Flare settings, templates, tips and tricks that would help design an eco friendly website? For instance how to minimize HTTP requests on websites designed with Flare, how to make a Flare website lighter?

Any ideas?
Thank you
Benedicte

I'm not entirely certain, but if you've done your research on what is more/less eco friendly, consider whether the following HTML5 target settings might be useful:

Search tab:
Chunk large search database files

Advanced tab:
Generate resized copies of scaled images
Include Javascript for CSH (turn off if you're not using context sensitive help?)

Performance tab:
Maybe adjusting these settings will be beneficial.

Then there's the obvious things like "white = all pixels turned on = uses more energy" so avoiding that in your stylesheets. I've also read blue is pretty bad, but unsure on the details. So going for darker and more muted colours in your styling.
