Paravirtualization**: The hypervisor provides efficient hypercalls, and the guest OS uses drivers and kernel modifications to call these hypercalls. It's amazing to recall that it was even possible to virtualize x86 before processors had hardware-assisted virtualization (Intel VT-x and AMD-V), which were added in 2005 and 2006.

I published a paper and presentation in 2006 that discusses the complexities of measuring CPU utilization. In the absence of measured data, a model based on a table of default values measured on datacenter systems could be used, taking into account CPU types, power usage efficiency (PUE), and over-all utilization levels.

Usage of Virtual DOM allows efficient rendering where only certain part of webpage is rerendered speeding up performance. VueJS can be used to create Single Page Apps efficiently with fewer resources evident from its tiny package size. Introduced in 2006, its popularity peaked around 2013-14 and has been on the decline ever since.

It can be hard to visualize the huge network of hardware that allows you to send a request for a page to a server and then receive a response back. Also, the amount of data that is required for the page, and the complexity of the route it must travel through, will determine the amount of carbon released by the network itself.
