- | Before making webp replacement works, you may want to prepared webp format images by either [[https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:image-optimization | LiteSpeed Image optimization]] or [[https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/#webp_converter_download_stylefont-weight_bold | webp convert by yourself]]. | + | |
+ | If you have WebP images in your media library, you take advantage of a setting in the LSCWP Media Settings to use WebP in place of JPG or PNG where appropriate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before enabling this option, you'll need to prepare your images in WebP format. You can do so with [[litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:image-optimization | LiteSpeed's Image Optimization]] function or by [[https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/#webp_converter_download_stylefont-weight_bold | converting the images yourself]]. | ||

+ | ===== How Much Smaller are the WebP Images? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can evaluate the effects in a few ways. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Check the image size from the browser developer tool ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Optimized JPG versus WebP image size: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:configuration:webp-4.png?500|}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Check the image size from the console ==== | ||
+ | Change directory to ''PATH_TO_WORDPRESS/wp-content/uploads/YEAR/MONTH'' | ||

- | We can found original jpg image is 9.1K, optimized jpg file is 8.6k and webp only 6.0k. All image sizes are match to previous checking method of developer tool which need to minus header size. It's around 30% size reduced from JPEG which is a reasonable number by referring [[https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/| google webp]] | ||
+ | We can see that the original JPG image is 9.1K, the optimized JPG file is 8.6k and the WebP is only 6.0k. All image sizes are comparable to those which we observed via the developer tool (which needs to subtract the header size). It appears that the WebP images are around 30% reduced from JPG. This is reasonable, according to [[https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/| Google's documentation]]. | ||
