What Is WebP (And Why Is It Important)?
Summary
Understanding what it is and how to use it on your WordPress site can help you enhance your User Experience (UX) and overall reduce loading times. The ability to use more images without worrying about sluggish loading times can help to enhance your WordPress site’s overall look and feel. Manually adding WebP images to your WordPress site requires you first to convert them before uploading them to your Media Library. Aside from ease of use, one advantage of this method is that you won’t have to worry about visitors who are accessing your site from a browser that doesn’t support WebP images. By using both lossy and lossless compression, WebP lets you retain the rich appearance of your images while simultaneously reaping the benefits of smaller file sizes.
