Serve Existing WebP with LiteSpeed Cache

    I would like to use LiteSpeed to serve WebP images that already exist. I have tried enabling “Image WebP Replacement”, but my site still displays JPEGs.

    I have created WebP versions of my original JPEG files using a plugin called ShortPixel. That plugin creates a file with the .webp extension in the same directory that contains the .jpg. For instance, I have these two files:

    /uploads/2019/07/PineappleStarfruitJulep12-600x850.jpg
    /uploads/2019/07/PineappleStarfruitJulep12-600x850.webp

    This image appears on my homepage.

    How can I go about serving the WebP files?

    I am using Chrome, and I have purged the LiteSpeed cache. I have verified that the images being loaded are JPGs by using the Network tab in Developer Console.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @jquisenberry ,

    Enabling the option in Plugin only serves the WebP files generated by the Litespeed Image Optimization Tool.

    If you’re looking to serve WebP, Please optimize the files using Litespeed’s Tool, and they will be served just right ??

    Hi,

    Please try to make the webp file name match as follow:

    original jpg file, let’s say name: test.jpg

    then you have to make this webp file named as test.jpg.webp

    That’s the only case it will replace webp

    Hello @jquisenberry,

    I’m going to mark this topic “Resolved”, due to lack of activity.

    Have you tried generating the images using the LiteSpeed Image Optimization Tool
    or renaming the file as @qtwrk suggested?

    If neither of these suggestions addressed your issue let us know and we’ll be happy to reopen the topic.

    Thanks!
