Strategies include enabling lazy loading, compressing assets, and choosing renewable energy-powered hosting.
The guide highlights Drupal’s strengths: built-in caching, CSS/JS aggregation, and support for tools like PurgeCSS. Modules such as Dynamic Responsive Image – Improved enhance energy efficiency by tailoring content delivery. Green hosting and CDN integration further reduce emissions and server demands.
