Squidge work on virtual hosting?

  • I am testing your Squidge plugin.
    My hosting provider’s support installed the
    ~/optipng/bin/optipng
    ~/libwebp/bin/cwebp
    ~/jpegoptim/bin/jpegoptim
    For avif (they say) my virtual hosting is not enough.
    Your plugin will work on virtual hosting – how can we install avifenc there? Or do we need a VDS?
    Also I have this question – is your plugin implemented to check avif (webp) browsers and substitute the required format on the fly?
    I would appreciate your help.

    Hi @pressport

    Thank you for your question.

    May I ask what operating system your hosting is running? Installing avifenc can be a bit challenging but it really depends what distro of linux you are running.

    With regards to checking if the browser accepts avif or webp, it’s a great idea. Although the browser can detect if it can serve an avif image by using the <picture> element.

    I will need to inspect the headers and check if the browser has the correct headers and change the output of squidge_image accordingly.
    Can you create a new issue on https://github.com/ainsleyclark/squidge as feature request? I will put this in the next version.

    All the best.
