    Hi,
    How can i disable autogenerate Webp? In previous version, i could uncheck webp, but now it is generated automatically…

    We have several pages where there are many images, now it generates a webp version for each of them (including the thumbnail) and for us it is unacceptable – increase in disk size, folders with thousands of files. We dont need webp, we need only optimize jpg/png. Your plugin is therefore unusable for us after the last update and we had to downgrade it.

    Webp generation can be turned off in every plugin, why is it suddenly not possible in your? it doesnt make sense.

    please fix it or suggest another solution. Otherwise, we will have to cancel the subscription (we have 5 accounts) and choose another plugin.

    Hello everyone,

    Thanks for your patience! Right now, it is not possible to easily disable WebP creation.

    We are currently brainstorming this idea and will send updates in the GH Issue so it would be good to follow it there (thanks for creating it, NerdPress).

    Best Regards
    Marko

    I hope you will return this option. It is absolute nonsense to always have this feature active. Many sites use imagify to optimize images and not use webp. Some templates generate over 10 thumbnails. so one picture suddenly has 20 variants and it’s really unbearable. You are currently really the only plugin that can’t disable this feature. If the webp/avif display function on the web is disabled, it makes no sense to generate them. We optimize the images and saved size is then taken by webp?…
    You are primarily an optimization plugin, not a webp generator plugin (many of which are free). In addition, if we use cloudflare, webp are never used because they are generated on their side.

    Please bring this feature back. I don’t understand why the feature was removed when it was already there. The same problem is solved by many people on some discussion forums. If the feature is not available, there is really no point for us to continue to pay your subscription and we will certainly not be alone.
    Thanks.
