    Hi Mateusz,

    I was wondering whether the webp images are stored in a specific location? When I look at the uploads folder, they are not there. So I am wondering if they are stored somewhere or generated on the fly (which will increase loading time?) or how they are shown on the webpage?

    Thanks!

    Hi @rustykins,

    Thank you for your message.

    Files converted to WebP and AVIF format are stored in the directory: /wp-content/uploads-webpc/.

    How does the plugin work?

    When a browser tries to load an image file, the plugin checks if it supports the AVIF format (if enabled in the plugin settings). If so, the browser will receive the equivalent of the original image in the AVIF format. If it does not support AVIF, but supports the WebP format, the browser will receive the equivalent of the original image in WebP format. In case the browser does not support either WebP or AVIF, the original image is loaded. This means full support for all browsers.

    Below I have attached the tutorial describing how to test the plugin:

    If you have any other questions, please, feel free to reach out to me. We will try to help you.

    Best,
    Mateusz
