    Forgive me if I am just being dumb, but I don’t get how it works. Where are the Webp and AVIF converted files stored? I can see on the front end a converted image. When I right-click it and get the link address it shows a PNG file in the normal location. When I right-click and select save as it shows it as an AVIF file. I am confused.

    Hello @kingfish65 ,

    CompressX converts images and stores them in the /wp-content/compressx-nextgen/ directory. Once images are converted to WebP and AVIF formats, and your browser supports these formats, the converted versions will be served automatically. This is why the image is downloaded as an AVIF file when you choose to save it.

    To verify if the images are loaded in WebP or AVIF format, you can right-click on the image, select “Inspect,” then navigate to the “Network” tab in the browser’s developer tools. There, you’ll see the image format type (WebP or AVIF).

    Kind regards.
