webp support?

Hello!

I am going to investigate this for you, as it is a good idea. We would have to conditionally serve webp images as they aren’t compatible with all brosers yet (FF and Chrome only I believe?).

I’ll keep this issue open while this is investigated – thank you for bringing it up.

Thanks

Hello!

A plugin update has been pushed out (v1.26) that now includes the webp extension in the CDN url rewrite class. This means that webp files will now be pushed through the CDN url.

I’ll close this issue but let us know if there are any problems!

Hi Guys

just thought I would jump in here to say your software is fantastic, and just keeps getting better, the addition of webp is brilliant.

@shift8 Thanks, working great. Also, where do I see the list of supported file types?

Hey there,

Thanks, working great. Also, where do I see the list of supported file types?

I should add this information to the readme. But how it works is if the request for static media matches one of the following file extension patterns below :

jpg|jpeg|png|gif|bmp|pdf|mp3|m4a|ogg|wav|mp4|m4v|mov|wmv|avi|mpg|ogv|3gp|3g2|webp

The system will attempt to optimize and compress the image as best as possbile to imprpove speed. If the above doesnt match but is a request for a static file in wp-content/upload, it will still go through the CDN and be cached either way. The key really is that we want images to be optimized and compressed (google likes that). I recently updated the plugin to include the webp extension in the above scenario.

There was an unrelated problem where the “catch-all” wasn’t catching the webp extension that was also fixed which is likely why it started working for you.

Thanks!
