Install it, enable WebP conversion, set the quality level, and you&#8217;re done \u2014 new uploads get optimized automatically with no fiddling.<br \/>We tested this across two very similar WordPress websites, and the site using the plugin showed a significant improvement in overall page performance and image optimization. Easy to use, reliable, and made a real difference on a production site \u2014 one of the client sites where we deployed it averages 364 active users every 7 days according to Google Analytics, so this is a real-world environment, not a sandbox.<br \/>The WebP versions are served automatically to supported browsers while keeping the originals untouched, which is exactly the safe behavior you want on a live site. Settings are clean, there&#8217;s no bloat, and it didn&#8217;t conflict with anything else on our stack.<br \/>A solid, no-nonsense plugin from a team that clearly knows what WordPress site owners actually need. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18905796","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18905796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18905796\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18905796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
