WordPress Carbon Footprint is a simple plugin for WordPress which works out and displays the carbon footprint of your blog. It works out how many words and images are on your blog and then calculates how many sheets of paper it would take to print a copy of your blog. It finally works out how much carbon is in those sheets of paper and displays all this information for you or your readers so you can show off how much carbon you?re offsetting by hosting your content online.
<ul>
<li>The script searches through every post and every page on your blog, counting the total number of words and images in each post.</li>
<li>It then works out how many pages the text would take up assuming a standard of 794 words per page. This was worked out by taking the most widely used fonts, font sizes, the word processor being used and other print options.</li>
<li>It also works out how many pages the images would take up, again based on DPI, margins and other factors.</li>
<li>The most widely used paper is around 120gsm (grams per square meter) and standard A4 paper is 210x297mm. This means that we can approximate that there is 0.0074844g of carbon per sheet of paper which we multiply by our number of pages to give the total amount carbon saved by the blog vs it being printed out on paper.</li>
</ul>

<h4>Deny All Firewall</h4>
This plugin examines your WordPress installation and injects rules into your .htaccess file which completely block access to everything except genuine site content.
Doing so reduces load on your server, prevents hackers from scanning your site for exploits and even reduces the carbon footprint of your site! We estimate that this plugin will reduce the amount of CO2 used by an average WordPress site by 100Kg per year which is equivalent to the carbon footprint of a flight from London to Ibiza!
Blocked requests can be logged and whitelisted to fine tune your firewall to your specific website.
Whitelisted requests can be 301 redirected to another web address.
The plugin monitors for content changes and will alert users if changes are detected and rules need to be refreshed.
There is a “Lock Down” feature which blocks all requests with Query Strings or POST data. This is how SQL / PHP injection, XSS and other attacks are implemented but it is also how some themes and plugins talk to your server so may require some requests to be whitelisted for your site.
There is a “Sitemap” feature which autmatically generates an XML sitemap and lets search engines find it through a robots.txt file. This sitemap is more detailed than the one automatically generated by WordPress.
There is an “Allow All Content” feature for sites with way too much content to list in the .htaccess file.
There is an “Allow All IPs” feature for sites with too many users to list all their IP addresses in the .htaccess file.
There is a “Force SSL” feature for sites with an SSL certificate to force visitors to use HTTPS rather than HTTP.
Prevents WordPress version from being shown in and /feed/ meta.
Currently we only support Apache servers but will be looking to include Nginx in the future.
Please contact us through the support forum to let us know immediately if the plugin blocks anything that it shouldn’t do!
