Hi @pcbfacile,
Thank you for your message. I am sorry you have encountered a problem with our plugin.
The reports we receive very often do not concern a problem with the plugin operation, but problems with understanding how the plugin works. Below I have attached the tutorial describing how to test the plugin:
https://mattplugins.com/docs/how-to-test-converter-for-media-plugin
Files converted to WebP and AVIF formats are saved in a separate directory:
/wp-content/uploads-webpc/
If you have any other questions, please, feel free to reach out to me. We will try to help you.
Best,
Mateusz
thenk you for your fast reply.
could you please tell how could i set wordpress
in order to access the webp images from the front end
“media”?
@pcbfacile I sent you the tutorial in a previous message – have you read it?
@pcbfacile I ran a test on your website. I simulated browsers with and without WebP support to make sure everything was working. Thanks to this, I can check how much your original images weigh (i.e. what was before installing our plugin) and how much the images converted by our plugin weigh.
Here are the results of my tests:
This means that the plugin is working properly and all images are displayed in the version converted by the plugin.
I also recommend you to try the AVIF format on your website. I did an analysis to learn more about the potential benefits of using the AVIF format for you. Images converted to the AVIF format on your website will weigh 47% less than images converted to WebP only, maintaining even better image quality. This will further improve the performance of your website.
thank for your fast reply.
but the file extensions remains the same?
the converted images on the browser have not
the .webp extension
I sent you a link to the tutorial. At the beginning you will find the answer to your question:
The plugin does not change URLs to images, so when looking at the source of the website, you will see the URLs for the default images all the time. The plugin creates redirections to output files in WebP and AVIF format, changing the MIME type of these images, but without changing the URL.
