Privacy

Preguntas frecuentes
-
Does this delete my original JPEG or PNG files?
-
No. The plugin creates additional
.webpfiles alongside the originals. With plug & play enabled, browsers that support WebP receive<picture>markup automatically. -
Do I need to edit my theme?
-
No. Plug & play is on by default. Disable it in settings if your theme already outputs custom
<picture>elements and you want to avoid double processing. -
Will every visitor receive WebP images?
-
With plug & play enabled, the plugin outputs
<picture>with a WebP<source>when sibling files exist. Browsers that support WebP load the smaller format; others fall back to JPEG/PNG via the<img>tag. -
What quality should I use?
-
80–85 is a good starting point for photographs. Lower values reduce file size but may reduce visual quality. Re-run batch conversion after changing quality to regenerate existing WebP files.
-
Does it work on existing uploads?
-
Yes. Use Generate WebP on the settings page to process the media library in batches.
-
Does the plugin send data to external servers?
-
No. All conversion happens locally using PHP GD or Imagick. The batch tool uses WordPress AJAX in the admin only.
-
What happens on uninstall?
-
Plugin options are removed. Generated
.webpfiles remain on disk so your site keeps working; delete them manually if you no longer need them. -
Does it work with page builders and CDNs?
-
Plug & play enhances standard WordPress image output. Page builders that bypass core APIs may need theme helpers (see plugin documentation). CDNs that serve your uploads directory will serve
.webpsiblings when URLs point to them. -
Can I use this with other image optimization plugins?
-
Avoid running multiple plugins that both convert uploads to WebP or rewrite the same image markup. Test on staging first.
-
Which image formats are supported?
-
JPEG and PNG uploads are converted. SVG and GIF are not converted. WebP output requires server support (GD
imagewebpor Imagick). -
Multisite?
-
Each site has its own settings and media library. Network-activate if you want the plugin available on all subsites.
