Hosting provider could not be identified
Without knowing the provider, we cannot determine their energy sourcing. Check with your hosting provider about their renewable energy commitments.
Info::
Green hosting status based on known provider commitments
Green hosting detection uses a curated database of provider renewable energy commitments. This is not a real-time verification. For authoritative checks, visit thegreenwebfoundation.org.

No detectable Google Fonts weights
Info::
No detectable Google Fonts weights
The analyzer detects font weights via Google Fonts URL parameters (~70% of font-using sites). Self-hosted fonts and non-Google CDN fonts aren't visible to URL-based detection. If you self-host fonts, manually audit how many @font-face weights you ship -- 2-3 weights per family is typically enough; 5+ is usually unused payload.
