    Hi,

    unfortunately the webP image replacement is not working well.

    All Settings for replacement are enabled and the image optimizer says that all images are generates as webP but they don’t get replaced.

    Anyway it was never working for background-images.

    Can you check the site and tell us, what we’re doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance,
    Sebastian

    Hi,

    yes, it was never working with background image

    basically , only images within <img ... tag will be replaced

    there is some improvement in next release for background images

    if you are not using any CDN service , you can add this rule into your .htaccess 

    
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} "image/webp"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.webp -f
RewriteRule ^(.*).(jpg|jpeg|png|gif) $1.$2.webp [T=image/webp,L]

    this will force to load webp when it exists and browser supports while URI remains unchanged, but format will be webp

    Hi,

    thanks for the reply.

    We’ve put the rules into the htaccess, but unfortunately it’s still not working.

    We are using LSC on many other websites hosted in the same or a similar hosting environment. It’s working well on all other pages excapt this one.

    Maybe you can further inspect this and help us to fix this.

    Hi,

    I see you are running Plesk

    if I recall correctly , by default Plesk has nginx in front to serve static ?

    please verify if you have nginx running
