Animated GIF-images are not supported yet as GDlib\/ImageMagick don't have support for it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nHow the plugin works<\/h4>\n\n
The plugin does nothing<\/strong> until the first image is requested. Here is the conversion flow.<\/p>\n\n\n- Original image is requested in browser<\/li>\n
- Image is added to the conversion queue, original image is still served.<\/li>\n
- Conversion queue is processed in background, queued images are converted to WebP\/AVIF format.<\/li>\n
- When the image is requested now, and the browser supports WebP and\/or AVIF, the WebP\/AVIF image is served.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
Server requirements<\/h4>\n\n\n- Apache 2.x with mod_rewrite or Nginx<\/li>\n
- ImageMagick or GDlib with WebP support<\/li>\n
- ImageMagick or GDlib with AVIF support (optional)\n\n
\n- You can use this plugin without AVIF support, in that case only WebP conversion is done<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Installation (Apache)<\/h4>\n\n
The .htaccess rules are applied automatically when activating the plugin. Install the plugin and go!<\/p>\n\n
Installation (Nginx)<\/h4>\n\n
You have to add the following lines to your nginx configuration:\nIn the http<\/strong> section (outside the server<\/strong> section):<\/p>\n\nmap $http_accept $webp {\n default \".nonexisting\";\n \"~*image\/webp\" \".webp\";\n}\n\nmap $http_accept $png {\n default \".png\";\n \"~*image\/webp\" \"\";\n}\n\nmap $http_accept $avif {\n default \".nonexisting\";\n \"~*image\/avif\" \".avif\";\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nIn the server<\/strong> section, above the \"location \/\" rule:\n(Change the wp-content<\/strong> part if this folder is in a non-standard location.)<\/em><\/p>\n\nlocation ~* wp\\-content\/(?!cache\/fastware\\-webpavif).+\\.(jpe?g|png|gif|bmp|webp)$ {\n if (!-f $request_filename) {\n break;\n }\n rewrite \/wp\\-content\/(.+)$ \/wp-content\/cache\/fastware-webpavif\/$1;\n}\n\nlocation ~* cache\/fastware\\-webpavif.+\\.(jpe?g|png|gif|bmp)$ {\n add_header Vary Accept;\n expires 30d;\n try_files $uri.pref$webp $uri.pref$avif $uri$webp $uri$avif $uri \/?fw-webp-avif-ondemand=all;\n}\n\nlocation ~* cache\/fastware\\-webpavif.+\\.webp$ {\n add_header Vary Accept;\n expires 30d;\n try_files $uri$png \/?fw-webp-avif-ondemand=png;\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nIf there exist a rule for images like location ~* ^.+.(ogg|...|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|webp|ico|bmp|...)$<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\nPlease remove the following matching extensions: jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|webp|avif.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nIn the mime.types<\/strong> file, make sure the following lines are present:<\/p>\n\nimage\/webp webp;\nimage\/avif avif;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nHow can I verify the plugin is working?<\/h3><\/dt>\nPlease check the settings page to verify your server meets the installation requirements.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How can I serve my images even smaller?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYou can lower the quality settings on the settings page to serve smaller images. A value of 85% might be a good balance between quality and image size.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Why is the original image served sometimes?<\/h3><\/dt>\nIt could happen that your original image is smaller than the converted WebP\/AVIF image - in that case, the original image is served.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How long would it take to convert all images on my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThat depends. Each image is queued upon the first<\/strong> request. After the first request the image should be converted within a few minutes (depending on when the cron runs).\nWhen your site contains a lot (thousands) of images, it can take a few hours before all images are converted.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nReleases<\/h4>\n\n\n- 2.0.7 [03-07-2023] Fixed redirect loop<\/li>\n
