 * Hi, I’m using the ‘performance’ plugin from the wordpress core theme that changes
   all uploaded images to webp. Your plugin does not consider this and keeps searching
   for .jpg. Can you update your plugin so that it searches for the correct image
   extension?

 * Hi [@melcarthus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melcarthus/),
 * Thank you for contacting us! I have registered this as a feature request which
   means that this will be considered in the future when we are adding new features
   to the plugin. As we do get many user requests for features, we consider these
   depending on the number of user requests, feasibility, and the development time
   required for implementation. 
 * If I can help with any other questions or concerns, please let me know.
   Thanks!
   Louis

 * Sorry for the late reply,
 * I personally think this is a simple update and an oversight as you hardcoded 
   the file extensions to be .jpg, can’t you just not do that? so webp/jpg would
   automatically get chosen because wordpress can get the mime-type/extension of
   a file and you basicly use the wordpress image upload function to save the files
   inside wp-content don’t you? 
   I have to edit core files now to ‘hard-code’ webp
   everywhere instead of jpg.
