Is my bernard site hosted on green energy?
Yes. Two things make a bernard site lighter on energy than most, and you do not have to take our word for either.
First, the pages themselves are light. A bernard site is plain static files served from a fast network, so each page is small to send and there is almost no work for a server to do on every visit. Less data and less computing both mean less energy.
Second, the hosting runs on renewable energy. Your site is delivered to visitors through Cloudflare, which the Green Web Foundation lists as a verified green provider, and the data centre where it is built and stored runs on renewable energy as well.
To check it yourself, put your address into the free checker at the Green Web Foundation. A bernard site comes back green. One honest note: the checker credits Cloudflare, the network that serves your site, because its records for the building-side host are out of date - the renewable part is true at both layers.
The fuller version, with the carbon side and how to measure it, is in How Bernard builds.

Questions people ask
- How do I prove my site is on green hosting?
- Put your address into the free checker at the Green Web Foundation, thegreenwebfoundation.org. It looks up who serves your site and whether they run on renewable energy, and a bernard site comes back green. You can run the same check on any website, including your old one, and compare the two. The green hosting comes with the move - there is nothing for you to set up or approve, it is simply how every bernard site is served.
- Why does the checker name Cloudflare rather than Bernard?
- Cloudflare is the network that delivers your bernard site to visitors, and it is the host an outside checker can see. Cloudflare is on the Green Web Foundation's register as a verified green provider. The data centre where your site is built and stored runs on renewable energy too, but the public check reads the front door, which is Cloudflare.
