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.
