Webp issue

    Hello,

    I was checking my website on PageSpeed Insights and one of the major issues I needed to fix was to “Serve Images in next-gen formats”.

    It details that “Image formats like JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP often provide better compression than PNG or JPEG, which means faster downloads and less data consumption.”

    I use SG Optimizer for optimization and webp conversion of my images. So I do not know Insights is saying that I am not using webp.
    I do use Cloudflare (but I use the siteground integration version). I do NOT use Cloudflare for any image optimization or webp conversion.

    Can you please check if my images are being optimized and are also being served as webp (could you let me know how one checks for this as well).

    In case they are NOT being optimized and/or served as webp, what is the solution? I uninstalled Optimole and other image optimziation plugins to use SG Optimizer since I am a SG user myself and it is only logical.

    Thank you

    Edit: I was googling how to check if my images are being served as webp and it said open your website on Chrome, right-click on your image and open it in a new tab and then check the extenstion. When I did this, the image extension was not webp but was .png.

  • Hello @hbk747,

    The image optimization and WebP generation work as expected.

    You may confirm this by going to Site Tools > Site > File Manager and navigate to the directory below in which you can find the generated WebP images.
    /wp-content/uploads/YYYY/MM/

    The issue in your case is related to the size of the images.

    Our plugin converts PNG images that have a size below 500kB.

    If the main image has a size above the limit, the resized versions will not be converted as well.

    Regards,
    Kristiyan
