 * Hi there,
 * I’ve activated the “Generate WebP Copies of New Images” as well as the “Generate
   WebP Copies for existing images” in the SG Optimizer plugin, but the images displayed
   on my website are still PNG and JPG. How can I have them switched to WebP?
 * Thank you,
    Nick

 * That’s normal. Check the networking tab of inspect element and you will see that
   they are content type webp. We do this on server level without modifying the 
   HTML of your page for best compatibility 🙂

 * Thanks for your answer. Maybe I’m not understanding your point but even in the
   network tab of the inspect element, pictures are still displayed as png:

 * The only Webp on my page seems to be the favicon. Am I missing something here?
