- Why botherEvery image, every visit, faster
Swapping a site's JPGs for WebPs is the cheapest page-speed win there is: typically a quarter to a third fewer bytes with no visible change, multiplied across every image on the page. The encoder here re-compresses at quality 82, a setting tuned for photographs, and can resize at the same time. Because one more lossy pass is involved, converting from original, uncropped JPGs beats converting thumbnails that were already squeezed.
Questions
Will visitors see any difference?
At quality 82, no meaningful one. The formats' artifacts differ under a microscope; at normal viewing the pictures match while the WebP loads faster.
Does converting JPG to WebP lose quality?
A second lossy encode costs a little fidelity, mostly invisible. For pixel-critical work, start from original sources rather than compressed JPGs.
What about very old browsers?
WebP support is universal in anything from the last several years. If a legacy audience matters, serve both with a picture element.
