 * Hello,
 * Does it convert and serve files on the fly or it does create webp version of 
   original images in the media library without deleting them?
 * In my case, since webp support is introduced in the latest WordPress update, 
   I want to replace all my png and jpgs with webp, is that what this plugin does?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hello [@belgen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/belgen/),
 * Thanks for your message.
 * The plugin creates equivalents of the original images in WebP format and displays
   them instead of the original images. Does not delete original images.
 * Best,
    Mateusz
