webp plugin / strategy recommendations

  • Working on a site with large duotone or gradient map low contrast images. Often webp converter plugins like Siteground’s Optimizer do a horrible job of compression. Even lossless looks horrible.

    What webp plugin will let me specify specific images I want to turn into webp images and which to exclude? I can’t seem to find this.

    I can upload individual images from Photoshop as webps to the site, but once the client gets admin access no matter how many times I tell them to not upload full sizes images they are frequently like 6,000px x4,000px. Ugh! So it would be nice to turn on webp compression for all images AFTER I am done building the site, but not have it impact previous images.

    Thanks.

    Not sure you really need to see Siteground’s compression (or any other webp plugin’s) to answer this.

    Looking for a recommendation for a webp plugin that allows selective applicaiton of the webp format. Some images I want to apply it to, some I don’t. Most I”m seeing will apply it to all images on a site. I don’t want that.

    Thanks.

    It was a start. I would want to see all of what the site outputs for the images that you are comparing (as we would be best helped by), again, as a start.

    If you cannot, why not?

    Tip (for all reading): Always make sure to clear you local browser cache and any server cache immediately after change and prior to comparing such image changes.
