    Mid-April the new Autoptimize will be released. Version 2.5 will have the following changes;

    * new feature: image lazyloading (using lazysizes)
    * new feature: image optimization can now switch to WebP images in supporting browsers (requires lazyloading to be active)
    * new: added option to enable/ disable the minification of excluded JS/ CSS files (on by default)
    * UI changes: “Main” becomes “JS, CSS & HTML”, “Images” is a new separate tab
    * code refactoring: image optimization is removed from autoptimizeExtra.php nad now lives and breathes in autoptimizeImages.php
    * misc. bugfixes and smaller improvements

    For those who want to test, you can either download the Beta from Github (version 2.5.0-beta5) or the “development” version from www.ads-software.com (version 2.4.99 to ensure it will update once 2.5.0 is out).

    Feel free to download, test and leave feedback here! ??

    Happy optimizing,
    frank

  • Hello @optimizingmatters,
    I am the developer of the site hometips.com( @kitvan ), We have enabled the Optimize Images option from plugin setting page. Also enabled “Load WebP in supported browsers?” with “Lazy-load images?”. We can see that, images are served from the https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/ domain. but not getting the images extention as webp.

    As said by you “AO/ Shortpixel does not change the file extension”, does this mean we will not get the extention as webp in the browser and it will be the same as original?
    So how can I confirm that the images are converted into webp format?

    Can you please confirm that our site is serving the webp images properly, here is a link of one of the post on our development site, where we have enabled the webp in A/O plugin:
