 * I installed your plugin. I am worried that this conversion to Webp will break
   my images. What if I want to revert back to JPG?
 * Also The GD (recommended) check box is not selectable. I asked my host to turn
   on the PHP modual, they said they did. So I am not sure why I can’t select the“
   recommend” GD method of conversion.
 * Any help would be great.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your message!
 * If this option is not available, it means you have the GD module installed, but
   it has no support for WebP. An example of the correct server configuration can
   be found [here](https://gbiorczyk.pl/webp-converter/serverinfo.png).
 * Can you give an example of images that are damaged? Have you done any images 
   compression before?
 * Don’t be afraid of your images, please. This plug does not change them. Any time
   you turn it off, the original imageswill start loading. However, I hope I can
   help you and use the plugin.

 * I chatted with my host they claimed they turned on GD. however I still found 
   that the check box for using GD was not selectable.
 * No images were damaged, since I have not used the plugin yet. What exactly should
   I tell my web host to turn on for GD to be selectable in the plugin?

 * I tried three times with my host, they say GD is installed correctly. but I dont
   see that option checkable on the plugin. Can I use imagemakgic? Or would that
   not be good. Also I can revert back to jpgs correct? without my images being 
   broken?
 * Thanks.

 * If you have the Imagick option available, use it. It’s just as good as GD.

 * Good plugin, I compressed to 75%. Still however I can’t pass Google Site Kits
   speed test. I shows a red 0. I don’t understand. My site does load fast on my
   desktop and mobile.
 * Also, I have a question. If I add more images (jpgs) should I just re run the
   plugin to convert the new jpgs to webP?
 * Thanks!

 * By using the plugin your website has a weight of 4.4 MB instead of 5.3 MB. I 
   did a test on IE11, which doesn’t support WebP, I got 5.3MB and on Chrome 4.4MB.
   This means that the plugin gives great results.
 * Unfortunately, I will be very honest, it is very poorly optimized. It has a lot
   of glaring errors. Unfortunately, but here it will be very difficult to improve
   anything visibly.
 * Here one plugin will not solve the problem.
