    Hello team,

    Referring to the link above, you have mentioned that “a cache plugin solution” by suggesting to install either cache enabler or Litespeed.

    My question is can I use hummingbird to do this? Because currently, I am on hummingbird and prefer using short pixel instead of smush. I am on Siteground and I do use the Cloudflare too. Though I do not use SG optimizer, only the Hummingbird to help with my caching.

    Thank you!

    Hi @lenav7!

    Unfortunately we don’t know if Hummingbird can take care of WebP serving too. The best thing you can do is just trying it out. Just make sure that you have disabled the checkbox Settings > ShortPixel > WebP Images > Deliver the WebP versions of the images in the front-end, and then see if Hummingbird can serve the .webp generated by ShortPixel.

    Let us know how it works, please.

    Best,

    Alright, i will do this but how do i check to see if hummingbird serve the .webp generated by Shortpixel?

    Also, do i really need the cache to work along with Shortpixel? I dont understand the concept much, sorry.

    I just did what you said, I checked by opening one of the images on a new tab to see the extension but it still displays only .png (if that’s what you mean earlier). I checked before and after disabling the checkbox.

    Maybe I should save and bulk optimize all the images?

    Hi @lenav7,

    Unfortunately we cannot help you checking if Hummingbird serves the .webp correctly, because it is another plugin’s job.

    However, if serving the .webp by Hummingbird is not a must, I would recommend you to use ShortPixel for this. Please have a look at this article: https://help.shortpixel.com/article/286-how-to-serve-webp-files-using-spio

    Cheers!
