 * Hi,
 * I have converted all files and can see in the media library that the webp and
   avif files have been created.
 * I am not seeing webp or avif files being output though when inspecting the page.
   I don’t see any added code in the root htaccess file that normally is there when
   serving nextgen images. I do see the htaccess file in the wp-content folder with
   the directives there.
 * I use a Litespeed server with QUICK CDN but decided I wanted to create the webp
   and avif files on my server i.e. not pay QUIC for this. When I did use QUIC there
   was a directive to swap the original image for webp in the htaccess. All image
   processing is turned off in Litespeed cache.
 * Any idea why my site wouldn’t be serving nextgen images? They have been created.
   I suspect it is the non-existent directive in .htaccess

 * Hello [@steveni1963](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steveni1963/)
 * CompressX’s .htaccess file is in the wp-content directory.
 * If it’s a Litespeed server, please note that a Litespeed server requires a service
   restart for rewrite rules to take effect. So you can try to restart the Litespeed
   service to make CompressX rewrite rules effective. You can use the command below
   to restart the server service:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       sudo service lsws restart
       ```
   
 * If the above does not resolve the issue, would you please send us a debug zip
   to support(at)wpvivid.com to help further identify the issue? You can get the
   debug zip from your website > CompressX > System Info.
 * All the best,

 * [@tonyrobins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyrobins/) no it’s not correct.
 * Lite Speed Server Enterprise doesn’t need a restart to take effect for rewrite
   rules.
 * Only Open Lite Speed (OLS) requires the restart service.
