Thanks for sharing. It’s one of the great subjects on the table in 2024. I did some tests with each one, and there are my resume:
Each tool gives a different result from the others. It’s quite normal. Websiteemissions is quite different than the others.
Only the last two links are giving technical informations about the result, and how to improve it. Again websiteemissions is the badest since he’s just saying you’re a bad guy 😎
Ecograder is indeed the most relevant, because the explanations about the result are complete.
If I’m right, unfortunately, none of them explains clearly, with details, how the result is calculated. We know that’s mostly related to the number of requests and the weight of the resources, but the others criterias are not clear. Same for the ponderation.
Detail: some tools are indicating my hosting as green, some others not.
I don't think the results are quite accurate since it took almost nothing to analyze it and the results are drastically different from any other calculator.
I tried 3 websites that I know. Two are hosted in green hostings and mine (normal hosting AKA GitHub Pages). All other calculators got similar results, but Ecoindex.fr was extremely different. Furthermore, it didn't make anything clearer to me and its suggestions were not exactly very useful.
Ecograder, on the other hand, suggested to me very specific actions to take, for example, a certain CSS (Bootstrap, for example) was not optimized, or a specific JS was not minimized.
I would say between the common calculators and Ecoindex.fr, there are widely unrelated? standards since their conclusions are considerably different. For example, Ecoindex.fr highlights the number of elements that websites have.
This is something that none of the other calculators mentioned and is difficult to fix in most cases. You can run Lighthouse to analyze your website's performance, and I've never had a recommendation that told me, "Too many Divs! Remove some of them!" It's a very strange standard to consider. Also, it was the only calculator that did not mention the lack of Green Hosting on my website. This was very odd. I personally cannot recommend Ecoindex.fr for now.
My conclusions, for now, would be:
All other calculators have considerable flaws and Ecoindex.fr is amazing.
All other calculators are on the right track and Ecoindex.fr must check its standards since something seems to be fishy.
Yes, as I said it's strange. I did the same test with my own website, and the results was differents, but not at this point. And the badest there was websiteestimation. Anyway. After, I'm not completely with your remarks against ecoindex about the complexity of the DOM, because it's an indicator. That's said, I don't know exactly how it's used in the ponderation, so...
I even checked a heavier website that I know and the results were as bad as mine. I think something is wrong. Both of us ranked E. It made no sense. Also, I don't know why my website will be 1 Megabyte and something. It's odd.

A good similar tool in french: ecoindex.fr/
The French one seems quite odd or even "fake" or even lower quality. I have tested many solutions and the results are crazy:
Page Rank:
168240 / 250135: Too heavy
1,432 MB: Too complex
778 items: Too many requests
131 requests
ecoindex.fr/resultat/?id=792f0978-...

Hmmm strange. For the test I did the result was quite similar to the others tools - except websiteemission. ANd quite logicial, as well.
Let's think about a balance between results of different tools, it's probably the best way to deal with.
