What’s the best way to handle WebP images in WordPress?

WebP offers superior compression and quality compared to traditional formats. Here’s how to implement WebP in WordPress:

  • Enable WebP conversion for uploaded images
  • Serve WebP with proper fallbacks for older browsers
  • Configure server settings to handle WebP properly

The WebP Express plugin provides comprehensive WebP support:

  • Automatic WebP conversion
  • Multiple conversion methods
  • Flexible serving options

Pro tip: Combine WebP Express with caching plugins for optimal performance. For additional features, consider using Imagify, which offers both WebP conversion and general image optimization.
