    Hi there, I have enabled WebP images and have noticed that the images are very compressed compared to the original optimised pngs. Is anyone else gettign this issue? What am I doing wrong here?

  • I am also looking for information on what the plugin does with WebP. Are they lossy or lossless compression?

    Since we create copies of the original files, we’ve selected smaller image size by defaul “webp -q 50” to be more precise. We’re thinking of adding options to modify that in future updates though.

    Having a slider to control how lossy or lessless the WebP files are created, managed would be really useful. Depending on needs, generic sites may want as lossy as they can get, travel or photography sites need more emphasis on maximising image quality.

    Appreciate the reply!

    I’m also interested in this–many of my clients are artists or galleries and need large, high quality images on their websites. Which slow down the load times… I’m looking for a way to speed up the sites without losing much image quality. Thanks!
