Ask HN: What's the lowest carbon impact way to build a web page in 2020?
We're a Tech Hub based in Rennes, France and rebuilding our Web presence, we would like to setup a good practice for building a presence with the lowest possible carbon footprints. What are some providers or techniques you could point us to ?

EU based smaller hosting provider such as scaleway:

For website, static generation opposes to loading ton of javascript and using a cdn.
Not much to go on here.
