Slow website loading due to heavy images increases bounce rates and worsens search engine rankings. According to Google, websites that take longer than 3 seconds to load lose up to 53% of mobile users. Image optimization can speed up loading by 25-50%, improving conversion rates and search engine rankings.
The "Automatic WebP Image Conversion" add-on solves this problem by automatically optimizing images without quality loss and significantly improves your website's loading speed after image optimization.
WebP format has long become the standard for images on the internet and has several advantages over standard png and jpg:
- High image with significantly smaller file sizes.
- Increased page loading speed
- Improved Google PageSpeed rating, as using WebP images is one of the key factors for website optimization.
The add-on offers flexible settings, allowing the administrator to choose the image quality during conversion. This provides the opportunity to find the optimal balance between minimal file size and high image quality. Thus, you can improve website performance while maintaining the visual appeal of images for users.
Add-on features:
- Automatic conversion of images to WebP upon upload - images are automatically transformed into the new format, saving time.
- Manual conversion of all images to WebP format with one click through the menu.
- Ability to select image quality during conversion, allowing to find a balance between image quality and its size for optimal performance.
