Modern Image Formats - WEBP / AVIF

[urchindesign]

Just wondering about WEBP and AVIF images.

In the past I’ve used the Litespeed Cache plugin to optimise images to webp and to automatically replace them. This allowed us to serve webp images with a fallback to jpeg or png.

Recently I’ve noticed this doesn’t seem to be working with Pro any more. It used to work but not sure if the change to HTML storage has done something.

I’ve also tried the Modern Image Formats plugin and have regenerated all images and set it to save all formats. I can see the images have been created in the media folders on the server however the site is still serving PNG and JPEG images.

Just wondering if there is a way to get this working with Pro again.

Hello @urchindesign,

Thanks for writing to us.

It might be an issue with the cache. If you were previously using LiteSpeed Cache to serve optimized formats, it’s possible that recent changes in Pro’s HTML storage system may have affected how the plugin rewrites image URLs. You can try clearing the LiteSpeed page and object cache and then purging the Pro cache (under Cornerstone->Settings-> Clear Cache) to ensure everything regenerates properly.

After clearing the cache, please clear your browser cache or check it in the private mode of the browser.

Thanks
