Screenshots
Once the plugin is activated you can see if webp images are being sent using Google Chrome.
Any attachments that have corresponding webp images will have this logo in the top left corner in both grid and list views. You can turn this off.
If a image does not have webp images but it is possible to, you will see this button when viewing the image.
On the tools page you can generate images from existing media for both your upload and theme folders.
How do I know if it is working
You can check if its working by using Google Chrome to view one of your sites pages that contain webp images. You can open the \’web developers\’ options to check the received media type next to the image. It will still have the original file extension on the filename so you will need to clear any caching on your browser.
Will this affect WordPress caching
No, all of the work is done by your server so any caching / optimization plugin will not be affected.
Will it work with CDN’s and or static content providers
You will have to configure your CDN to serve the webp image type, if the webp images are saved directly to your CDN folder will depend on how it is being maintained in WordPress. You may be able to just include the .htaccess snippet to make it work. I will update this question as soon as I know more.
