Onyx offers 100% renewable managed WordPress hosting

Posted on by Alex Denning

WordCamp London 2019 is made possible by our sponsors, and we’re delighted to introduce one of our Camden Lock sponsors, Onyx.

Onyx is a lightning fast WordPress hosting from the award-winning team at Krystal.

Since 2003 they’ve provided outstanding UK-based hosting and recently they’ve created Onyx, offering a full package of managed WordPress hosting.

This year WordCamp London is focusing on sustainability and content, and so Onyx as a sponsor is a perfect fit. It accounts for about 10% of the world’s energy consumption – with datacenters being around 30% of that total – and they’re doing something about it.

How WPMU DEV’s free plugins are creating a more sustainable web

Posted on by Alex Denning

A key theme for WordCamp London 2019 is sustainability. We want to host a sustainable event, and encourage our sponsors to be sustainable exhibitors.

With WordPress powering over a third of the internet, though, the scope for impact on creating a sustainable web is huge.

Every WordPress site that loads a page requires server resources to do so, and thus each page load generates a carbon emission. The better optimised a website, the lower its carbon emissions. The average website generates 6.8g CO2, and the internet in total accounts for 2% of global carbon emissions.

We’re thus delighted that WPMU DEV, one of our Camden Lock sponsors, is helping WordPress sites be more efficient – and use less carbon – with its suite of free performance optimisation tools, including Hummingbird, Smush, and Smartcrawl.

A massive thank you to our Camden Lock sponsors

Posted on by Alex Denning

WordCamp London is an event dedicated to connecting people in the WordPress community. A component of our mission is to make the access barrier as low as possible. A key part of that is the low ticket price.

Sponsors play a crucial role in the whole event: thanks to their support, we are in the position to create a low-cost and high-value event, truly open and accessible to everyone.

This is why it’s so important for us to celebrate all the companies that are so invested in the growth of the WordPress community 🙂

Everyone, please join us in thanking our Camden Lock sponsors for their commitment to the WordPress community, and drop by to say hello on the day.
