# webp creation

 *  Resolved [sagency](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdagency/)

 * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webp-creation/)
 * Using SiteGround’s SG Optimizer plugin.
 * Went to try and disable the webp conversion option and it said something was 
   messing with REST API or something and it couldn’t disable. SO I temporarily 
   deactivated the All in One WP Security plugin and I COULD disable webp in SG 
   Optimizer.
 * 1. Do you know what feature of AIOWPS might have caused that conflict?
 * The reason I did any of this is because webps generated by SiteGround are looking
   awful.They are blaming WordPress default compression, but I know what that looks
   like and this is much, much worse.
 * 2. Is it possible anything in AIOWPS could be blocking or messing with a script
   that runs compression on JPGs or webp conversion? I added
    add_filter(‘jpeg_quality’,
   function($arg){return 100;}); to my functions.php file adn it made ZERO difference.
 * Here is the interesting thing. When AIOWPS is off then JPGs uploaded look pretty
   good. When it’s on then they are overly compressed. Gotta be a conflict somewhere.
   Right?

 * Yes it is checked. So that might take care of the REST API issue?
 * Any ideas about #2 or do you think they are related?

 * If you goto Firewalls>>Additional firewall rules, do you have “deny bad query
   string” checked or unchecked?

 * Can you deactivate all the All-in-one settings and reactivate them one by one
   to see which particular settings is causing issue number 2?
