 * Images are sent to the Imagify server to compress, and it is slow, currently 
   about 2 minutes for a single image for us. Compression is a bit better than basic
   WordPress but results are not adequate for an e-commerce site (though I am sure
   Google SEO will like the ultra compression). It should have compression setting
   options other that lossless or max compression. The WebP implementation is highly
   dependent on your Theme’s implementation. Imagify support is responsive and helpful.
   The monthly subscription cost seems expensive for what it does/does not do for
   you.

 * Hi [@freedomnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/freedomnet/) !
 * Thank you so much for your detailed review!
 * When optimization is slow this may depend on other factors such as the number
   of thumbnails, the WebP conversion, the server configuration.
 * When it comes to the compression setting options, please note that with the Smart
   compression Imagify’s optimization algorithms analyze each image and determine
   how much compression should be applied to each image.
   Regarding WebP, If you 
   are referring to broken layout issues unfortunately this may happen when using
   picture tags to display the WebP images and indeed should be related to the theme
   that does not handle <picture> tags as same as <img> tags. The solution in this
   case would be to choose the rewrite rules way.However, if you are not able to
   use rewrite rules you can check the following options:– You can try to use the
   following HTML class that can be added to the specific images, that are not displaying
   correctly, to prevent WebP display via <picture> tag replacement (the optimized
   JPG/PNG versions will be displayed instead). If you can add this HTML class to
   all of the specific images you don’t want to display in WebP, then the rest of
   the images can still be displayed in WebP format.
 * – You could try to delete the WebP version of those images through FTP. WebP 
   images will be located in the same folder in which the original format version
   of the images is located. So if the original format image is located at wp-content/
   uploads/2020/02/image.jpg, then its WebP version will be at wp-content/uploads/
   2020/02/image.jpg.webp You can delete WebP versions of images by connecting directly
   to the files on your website’s server using an FTP program. Using an FTP program,
   you will be able to delete your WebP files individually or in larger groups at
   the same time.
   Depending on which FTP program you are using, you can search for.
   webp or *.webp, which will return all WebP images and you can then quickly select
   them all and delete. But be careful, as this would also return images or files
   that just have .webp somewhere in their name or URL.You can find further details
   on the following article from our documentation: [https://imagify.io/documentation/delete-webp-images-website/](https://imagify.io/documentation/delete-webp-images-website/)
   I hope this helps! Thank you for your time,The Imagify Team
