-====== How to let WordPress image display with WebP format======
+====== How to Use WebP Format Images on Your WordPress Site ======
-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]].
 =====Setup WebP Replacement =====
-  * Navigate to ** Settings -> Media **
+  * From the WordPress Dashboard, navigate to **LiteSpeed Cache > Settings > Media**
-  * Set Image WebP Replacement as `ON` \\ {{:litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:configuration:webp-2.png?400|}}
+  * Set **Image WebP Replacement** to ''ON''
-=====Verify site work with WebP =====

-We setup Woocommerce plugin with builtin storefront theme as our test scenario which includes around 99 images by default. And we are going to use [[https://developer.chrome.com/devtools | Chrome developer tool]] to verify webp replacement function. This image is Woocommerce default storefront theme with demo products.\\ {{:litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:configuration:webp-5.png?700|}}

-=====How much size reduced from WebP =====
+=====Verify That it's Working =====
-  - Check image size from browser developer tool
-    * Optimized jpg versus webp image size: \\ {{:litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:configuration:webp-4.png?500|}}
+We setup the WooCommerce plugin with its built-in Storefront theme as our test scenario. It includes a default collection of JPG images.
-  - Check images size from console
-    * Access to **PATH_TO_WORDPRESS -> wp-content -> uploads -> YEAR -> MONTH**
+Using [[https://developer.chrome.com/devtools | Chrome's developer tool]], we can verify that the JPGs have been replaced by WebPs.

-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]].
