Low tech in this case means off grid.

Imo low tech does not have to mean low availability, low tech website to me is a static website hosted on object storage with some cloud based CDN infront.

Yeah, but how green are some of these CDNs?

Well then it's a green website. The low-tech part in the title is misleading because it can mean so many things to different people. In this case it's actually green, off grid but complex and relatively high tech for the setup process.

Pretty green. An advantage of running very large infra is that it makes sense to spend engineering time optimizing energy use, even in a fully profit-driven sense.
