In reply to: [LiteSpeed Cache] WebP support detection issueThanks once again for the information.
Two elements in my ecosystem (that I know about at the moment) care about nginx: the short pixel plugin I use to optimize images, and my hosting service who responded that they didn’t want to modify it when Google analytics code had to be put into my headers and Google decided it needed NGINX modified.
And since my forte is developing content and not spending all my time trying to figure out technical issues, then I’m just determining what works and doesn’t work based on my own experience and choosing the simplest solution that works for the most people. I was only expressing my concern that others may not be able to see images of a non-ubiquitous format. That’s all.
Thank you @serpentdriver — I think I have what I need to press on.

In reply to: [LiteSpeed Cache] WebP support detection issueSorry, don’t know what you mean by “a custom workaround of the cache plugin”.
And it may works like this with the updated Mac OS X/Safari set up (now that I’ve updated, I will find out), but it didn’t work that way with Catalina/Safari 15 — I only got broken link images. And as I mentioned before, as a site owner I’m more concerned about others who still have that set up being unable to see images on my site.
And .avif is not without its issues either. I see messages that say: “It looks like you’re running your site on an NGINX server. You may need additional configuration for the AVIF delivery to work as expected .” And some hosts won’t let you play with that configuration.
I’ll wait on avif to see how that works out…
Thanks for all the info — I DO appreciate it!

thanks for that cachecrawler. Yes, I did know that and that seems to be the point of WebP. If you do a Google speed test on your site, often the recommendations include the use of WebP images to reduce overall file sizes and achieve faster loading time.
I’d be more comfortable with it if it also worked the other way: if the browser couldn’t display WebP, it would substitute the comparable jpg. That would kind of solve the viewing problem, wouldn’t it?

In reply to: [LiteSpeed Cache] WebP support detection issueI did a clean install of Catalina on my MBP a couple of weeks ago which meant that Safari was installed with the new system. With all updates made, WebP images are not showing.
Base on the information above, I’m now attempting an update to Monterey to see if Safari 16 will clear the issue.
As a web site owner, my main concern is more that there’s a segment of the population out there who can’t see WebP images in my posts, rather than my own ability to see them.
