FAQ-e

What are the requirements of the “WebP Images” plugin?

The plugin works only with Apache servers and only if the .htaccess file exists and is writable.

Does the “WebP Images” plugin improve the performance of my website?

Yes! Speed ​​up your website by serving WebP images instead of standard formats. This new format reduces the size of the images (and therefore of the pages of your website) up to 80%.

Does the “WebP Images” plugin save storage space?

No! The plugin converts images (and its resizing) into WebP format, leaving the original files intact. Then on the server there will be the images, their resizing and the versions converted into WebP of the images and their resizing.

Due to a server misconfiguration, I was having issues with the conversion to .webp with all dedicated plugins, except for this one. WebP Images did the job very fast and well. Recommended.
