# webp plugin / strategy recommendations

 * Working on a site with large duotone or gradient map low contrast images. Often
   webp converter plugins like Siteground’s Optimizer do a horrible job of compression.
   Even lossless looks horrible.
 * What webp plugin will let me specify specific images I want to turn into webp
   images and which to exclude? I can’t seem to find this.
 * I can upload individual images from Photoshop as webps to the site, but once 
   the client gets admin access no matter how many times I tell them to not upload
   full sizes images they are frequently like 6,000px x4,000px. Ugh! So it would
   be nice to turn on webp compression for all images AFTER I am done building the
   site, but not have it impact previous images.
 * Thanks.

 * Not sure you really need to see Siteground’s compression (or any other webp plugin’s)
   to answer this.
 * Looking for a recommendation for a webp plugin that allows selective applicaiton
   of the webp format. Some images I want to apply it to, some I don’t. Most I”m
   seeing will apply it to all images on a site. I don’t want that.
 * Thanks.

 * It was a start. I would want to see all of what the site outputs for the images
   that you are comparing (as we would be best helped by), again, as a start.
 * If you cannot, why not?
 * Tip (for all reading): Always make sure to clear you local browser cache and 
   any server cache immediately after change and prior to comparing such image changes.
