 * If I load the test image on the settings page it turns green and I can see in
   the resources in Google Chrome the mime type of this image is webp.
    But if I
   check the images on my test page the mime type is still jpg, although there is
   a webp-version available.
 * So I think I have the .htaccess right and the settings right, because I have 
   a webp-image and the test image is green. Any idea what is wrong?
 * My test page: [http://test.livingstonegroep.nl/2014/11/sec/](http://test.livingstonegroep.nl/2014/11/sec/)
 * Thanks,

 * Are you using a CDN, like Cloudflare or MaxCDN? The WebP rewrite rules don’t 
   really work with CDNs, because the files are upstream from the server doing the
   rewriting.

 * Yes. I use Cloudflare. Is there a way to make it work?

 * With cloudflare, it might be possible, but you would have to remove the .htaccess
   rules, and try to replicate them with Cloudflare. I use Cloudflare as well, so
   I’ll take a look sometime in the next week or two and see if it is possible to
   do.

 * Thanks.
    I tried to find out how to do that, but it’s too difficult for me. So
   I will wait for a potential solution.

 * I don’t see any way to make this work with Cloudflare, and they do not currently
   have a way to enable this. In the coming months I will be working on an alternative
   way to serve the webp images, so be on the lookout for that.
 * Cloudflare did seem interested in the idea, and requested the rewrite rules that
   EWWW IO uses, so we may see something from that end in the future, but it is 
   just in the curiosity stage at this point. Going to mark this as resolved, as
   this feature will be released in version 2.2. I don’t currently have a release
   timeframe yet.
