Gatsby sites are optimized to be smaller, sleeker and faster. When built and deployed in Gatsby Cloud they also use fewer data center resources, thanks to Incremental Builds. This efficiency is not just good for developers — it's also good for the environment!

Every web page we visit comes with its own carbon footprint, and these can be astonishingly large. The good news: there are low-lift ways we as developers can reduce carbon emissions related to our websites, and this starts with building static sites. The even better news: not only is this good for our lovely planet -- it is also great for your business and bottom line!
