    Hi – After installing performance lab, I see that the webp images are careated, but that is all that is happening. So I need guidance on:
    1. I use Elementor page builder – and when I used the image widget, it only allows me to select the jpg, which I understand is standard behavior, right?
    2. Pagespeed insights says I am still serving the jpgs, and i am getting penalized
    3. I have a jet woo products grid in elementor, and it seems no product thumbnails are showing as webp, do I need to recreate/reupload all product images after installing the performance lab plugin?
    4. Is there some conflict with woocommerce, elementor, or jetpack I am not aware of? Would Jetpack accelerator do the same thing?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @cpanjwani

    Thanks for getting in touch!

    After looking at the site shared I can see that the WebP images are being created, however they are not displayed on the frontend.

    From what I can gather this is likely an issue with the Elementor page builder markup.

    The Performance Lab plugin uses the_content filter to search for image tags with the wp-image-{ID} class name and replaces the image URLs with the WebP versions. The wp-image-{ID} class name is a standard WordPress core class name that can be found in Gutenberg content.

    However, it appears the HTML generated by Elementor does not include this class name so the URLs are not replaced.

    I have raised an issue in our GitHub repository for the team to further explore.

    I’ll mark this topic as resolved, but let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks
