Automatic WebP Image Generation

We’ve addressed a critical need for website owners by introducing automatic WebP generation for resized images. Now, when you upload new images to your WordPress media library, our plugin ensures that WebP versions are automatically created for all resized variations. This guarantees that every image displayed on your website is optimized for performance, no matter its dimensions.

Key Improvements in Version 2.2.0

    • This feature eliminates the risk of oversized or unoptimized images slowing down your website.

  3. Enhanced Media Library Integration

    • Integrated tools in the media library make it easy to track which images have WebP versions.

    • Bulk optimization options allow you to retroactively convert existing images to WebP with minimal effort.
