    Site health states our server supports WebP but the images are not converted. Or the converted images are not being used.

    We have tested it with a couple of differnet images and none of them are used via the .webp extention.

    If you follow the link and scroll down you will see the “test product”. That image was uploaded after the plugin was installed.

    We are using the Storefront Theme.

    Hey Guys, We just uninstalled the plugin and deleted it.

    Hi @suncoastorganics

    Thanks for getting in touch.

    Currently, the plugin only replaces images with their WebP version in the page content. As the page you shared is an archive page and generated by a template, the plugin would not update these images with their WebP version.

    You could test WebP is working by creating a post or page and adding a newly uploaded image to the content. You should see the WebP version of the image when viewing the post on the frontend.

    However, It looks like you’ve uninstalled and removed the plugin. I’ll mark this topic as resolved, but let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks

    Hey Joseph @joegrainger,

    The image was for an product in Woocommerce. Should that have worked? Neither the smaller image or the larger images were updated to WebP.

    Is there a reason this is not done when the image is added to media?

    Ya, If this is not working with product pics then it is not something that we would install at this time.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi @suncoastorganics

    When the image is uploaded the plugin will generate the WebP versions and the source URL for the WebP file is stored in the attachment metadata. The WebP file isn’t directly available in the media library.

    Currently, the plugin only updates image references in the WordPress content and not in templates. As the product images on both the archive and product pages will be part of the template, and not the content, those images would not be updated to their WebP versions.

    I have raised an issue in our GitHub repo to review options to enable WebP images in templates for the team to explore further.

    Let me know if you have any other questions

    Thanks
