These sample applications compare a very simple Wordpress website with the default template to a copy of that website generated with HUGO.

The research question is to compare the energy for accessing a Wordpress site vs. a static site from HUGO.

Additionally we have looked at the energy for generating the HUGO page in the build process, so check out the https://github.com/green-coding-berlin/wordpress-static repository.

You can find all the measurements on https://metrics.green-coding.org/ by searching for the repository URL.

If you want to run the measurements locally to falsify be sure to append the --allow-unsafe flag if you are measuring the wordpress-minimal site.

Look at our case studies where we analyze the data: https://www.green-coding.org/case-studies/wordpress-vs-hugo-cloudflare/
