The Converter for Media – Optimize images | Convert WebP & AVIF plugin is an excellent choice for image optimization on your WordPress website. Here’s why:
1. Faster website loading times: By replacing standard image formats like JPEG, PNG, and GIF with the more efficient WebP and AVIF formats, you can save over 50% of your page weight without compromising image quality.
2. Automatic image conversion: After installing the plugin, your current images will be automatically converted to the new format, and any new images added to your media library will be optimized as well.
3. Broad browser support: With over 90% of users using browsers that support the WebP format, and the introduction of the AVIF format (the successor to WebP) in the PRO version, this plugin ensures your website is optimized for all users, regardless of their browser.
Additionally, the plugin does not modify your original images in any way, ensuring the security of your files. If you need to remove the plugin, it will remove everything it has done, leaving no trace. The plugin also supports converting images in additional directories, such as /plugins and /themes, for full integration with WebP and AVIF formats.
The developers of this plugin have spent a significant amount of time and effort on its development and technical support, and they truly enjoy every new installation. If you appreciate their work, you can try the PRO version, which offers even more functionality for better image optimization results.
