Streaming, videos, and 3D elements enhance user ex-perience but also require more data and processing power, increasing energy consumption.
Optimizing these elements is crucial for making digital solutions more sustainable for both user devices and server in-frastructure.
Recommendations:
- Avoid autoplay: Let users choose when to play a video, reducing unnecessary data use.
- Use efficient video formats: Opt for AV1 or VP9, MP4, which reduce data consumption compared to older formats.
- Shorter and lower-resolution videos: Keep videos concise and offer lower resolution options to minimize energy impact.
- Optimize 3D elements: 3D graphics require intensive rendering. When possible, use vector graphics or simple animations instead.
