Smart Slider 3 and webp comparability
-
Hi, First off thanks for the excellent plugin!
I’ve noticed that the Smart Slider with both image optimisation on and off (an option in Smart Slider) will not load the webp images. This would provide a nice performance benefit if this can be fixed in the future.
As an aside Google Chrome is working on adding native lazy loading support:
<img src="..." width="200" height="200" /> <img src="..." width="200" height="200" />
https://web.dev/native-lazy-loading/
Can this also be supported in the future?
Thanks

Hi,
Is the issue with webp or lazy load ?
Could you please specify which image(s) not replaced to webp ?
Best regards,
Hi qtwrk,
My issue is with WEBP but I was just suggesting how I think lazy load can be improved.
Just the images from the slider: https://imgur.com/a/jIQEShT
Thanks,
Hi @schmidtypictures, we will add native lazyload support after version 3.
May I know which Smart Slider are you using, can you share us the plugin download link? Seems the plugin does not load the image by a correct WordPress hook so the image cannot be replaced.
Hi, oh cool!
Oh sorry I thought there was only one, it’s this one: https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/smart-slider-3/ by @nextendweb
Yea the plugin also has an image optimisation option and can resize the image. I suspect it’s because of these features that it does not use the correct WordPress hook.
Hi @schmidtypictures, after checking, you can add
div.data-desktop
toLiteSpeed Cache Setting > Media > WebP Attribute To Replace
for Smart Slider 3 WEBP image replacement.Thank you very much!
