Access to the site and the Ecoindex tool

The Ecoindex tool is a technical tool whose algorithm is openly explained on the site. It aims to give an initial indication of the performance and environmental footprint of a URL, based on the information information present in the code of this URL. By analysing the URLs making up the digital service (website, etc.) EcoIndex.fr can be used to reconstruct the environmental impacts associated with a typical route. The tool and the the results of queries, may not be used for any other purpose, in particular for commercial, advertising or comparative advertising.

Its use is free, but subject to conditions. Please respect them. The Ecoindex tool must not be used in an abusive, illicit or illegitimate manner. In particular, it is forbidden to script EcoIndex.fr, i.e. to automate the sequence of analyses.

We make every effort to provide users with available and verified information and/or tools, but cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions or for the unavailability of information and services. Consequently, users acknowledge that they use this information under their sole responsibility.

Use of the badge

The EcoIndex.fr badge can be obtained by any user after testing a URL by obtaining a score equal to A or B. It can be used on a web page to attest to its good environmental performance. GreenIT.fr and the Collectif Conception Numérique Responsable can in no way be held responsible for the use made of the badge. It is the responsibility of those using the badge on their site to ensure that the page complies with good eco-design and accessibility practices and to carry out regular checks.
