    Hi Team,
    I have converted all images to WEBP and enabled the Htaccess method. But it is not working as expected. Requested your support in this matter.

    Hi @myilraj05!

    This is Joseph from Imagify, and I’ll gladly assist you here!

    I took a look at all the images loading on your homepage, and I can see that actually most of them are in WebP format:

    I think the issue could be that the rewrite rules option for WebP display (which you’re using) will result in your HTML code appearing to display the JPG or PNG versions of images, though the rewrite rules work to ensure the WebP images are actually being served to users’ browsers.

    You can follow this guide for ensuring WebP images are being served (this is how I got the list of images above): https://imagify.io/documentation/how-to-check-if-webp-image-is-displayed-on-your-site/.

    Regarding the couple of images that are not in WebP, I believe this is because they are animated GIFs, and Imagify does not support WebP conversion for those.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions on this and I’ll be very happy to assist however I can!

    Best regards,
    Joseph
