How do I convert images to WebP format in WordPress?

Converting images to WebP format can significantly improve loading times. Here’s how to implement it:

  • Use the WebP Converter for Media plugin to automatically convert uploaded images
  • Enable WebP support in your hosting environment
  • Configure your CDN to serve WebP images

The plugin will handle:

  • Automatic conversion of existing images
  • Creating WebP versions for new uploads
  • Serving WebP to compatible browsers
  • Maintaining original formats as fallback

For best results, combine WebP conversion with other optimization techniques like compression and proper sizing.
