    Hello,

    i just installed and used the plugin. Seems great and worked as a charm! I can see the changed MIME type of the images from the web developer tool as you suggested on the instructions.

    The thing is i did this whole process to improve my google PageSpeed score and the score remained exactly the same that is was before using the tool!

    So does it really makes any difference to change only the MIME type of the image while the browser still “Sees” the .jpg or .png version?

    What’s the purpose of making the conversion if it does not make any difference?

    Keep up the good work and thank you for your time!

    @giorgosm, images on your website are available in WebP format. Below I have attached the tutorial describing how to test the plugin:

    Thank you for the answer but seriously “What“?

    I already tested the plugin and i know that the images are available in WebP format as a MIME type. I already explained this in my first post.

    The question was “The MIME Webp doesn’t seem to make any impact on Google Pagespeed score, is that correct?”

    Sorry @giorgosm, I misunderstood you. I did a test and the images in the original format on your website weigh 5.8 MB, and in WebP format they weigh 3.9 MB. That’s a difference of about 32%, which is a lot. It’s strange that it doesn’t affect the Google Page Speed ​​score.

    You’ll have to ask Google why this is happening. This tool sometimes works very strangely. It tells you to fix something, you fix it, and the result is not better, and sometimes even worse.

    I see that after optimizing the images, your website weighs about 2 MB less, and that’s a real benefit for you.

    Yes i saw the difference in MB you are right. I just thought it was strange that Google pagespeed remained the same.

    Anyway thanks a lot for the test and for the reply!

    Keep it up, good luck!
