Carbon Emissions Tracker for Craft CMS
======================================

[](#carbon-emissions-tracker-for-craft-cms)

Carbon tracker aims to raise awareness of the carbon emissions created by webpages, by displaying these insights along side the content in Craft's control panel.

The plugin uses the [websitecarbon.com API](https://www.websitecarbon.com/) (we're not affiliated, although we do consider them friends 💚), and will only check for new metrics once every 24 hours. **That means you won't see new metrics for every update or change you make** - as that would result in lots of API calls, defeating the purpose of keeping our footprint as small as possible 🙂.

How does it work?
-----------------

[](#how-does-it-work)

When publishing a new page, the plugin will call the [websitecarbon.com](https://www.websitecarbon.com) API with the url of the page in question (this is done through a queue job as to not block the user) and a couple of minutes later, you'll see a new block appear in the sidebar of the entry detail page.

### Local development

[](#local-development)

When you install the plugin on a local environment, it will always use websitecarbon.com as the url for which to get the current score, since the API needs a publicly available url)
