Don’t worry though, it’s all completely free. The process starts gently to make sure both servers talk nicely to each other before establishing a more intimate friendship, and this is managed through credits. Give it a couple of minutes to do its thing before refreshing and hopefully you’ll start to see reports of optimised images being successfully pulled back onto your hosting. This will send a batch of up to 100 images to LiteSpeed’s image optimisation server.
#PROUDLY SERVED BY LITESPEED WEB SERVER AT INSTALL#
Download and install it now, it’s a pretty banging tool. We’ll be using the Litespeed Cache WordPress plugin, the official WordPress caching companion plugin for servers running LiteSpeed. Update: Since MacOS Big Sur Safari now supports the WebP file format.īut not to worry, this method adds a rule to the website’s htaccess file that makes sure WebP images are only served to browsers that can handle them.
As the ever useful website details, although the web image format has broad compatibility, crucially Apple’s Safari browser has been slow to adopt it, putting them in the same bracket as Internet Explorer. Will WebP be served to incompatible browsers? A 30% reduction is a good expectation for the average conversion to WebP. Images with less detail receive the biggest cut in file sizes. In my test of the method of WebP compression that I describe below file sizes were cut down by anything between 21% and 93% of their original sizes.
