It works like expected, easy to install, and to use, works very well, and good support. Install and enable plugin and all works like a charm, if you need to disable gif webp conversion you can do it in plugin configuration. Save your time and buy this extension :-), in other websites I did it manually and spent a lot of time, now with this extension it's much faster. I used it to optimize website performance, reduce latency, and optimize Google Page Speed.
Jordi Catà Joomla Extension Directory
Dette plugin er præcis hvad jeg ledte efter til mit fotografi-websted. Installationen var utrolig nem, og jeg kunne straks se forbedringen i indlæsningstiden på min side. Billedkvaliteten forbliver fremragende, men filstørrelserne er betydeligt reduceret. Jeg havde et spørgsmål om konfigurationen, og supportteamet svarede inden for få timer. Jeg kan især godt lide muligheden for at ekskludere bestemte mapper fra konverteringen. Et must-have for enhver Joomla-side med mange billeder!
Anders Johansen JoomlaX
A good plugin that converts image formats jpg (Joint Photographic Experts Group) and png (Portable Network Graphics) to webp. Download and install.... png/jpg automatic converted to webp. Excellent plugin support via tickets (WebP Converter page) that quickly helps and fixes any problem (I speak from my own experience). The plugin is worth it, and it's worth buying; the support is happy to help. The plugin improves site speed and boosts SEO website optimization.

Maria Rodríguez JoomlaX
Ho installato questa estensione sul mio sito di portfolio fotografico e i risultati sono stati immediati. Le immagini si caricano molto più velocemente mantenendo un'ottima qualità visiva. L'installazione è stata semplicissima e non ha richiesto alcuna configurazione particolare. Ho apprezzato particolarmente la possibilità di escludere determinate cartelle dalla conversione. Il supporto tecnico ha risposto rapidamente quando ho avuto bisogno di assistenza. Un investimento che consiglio vivamente a chi ha un sito con molte immagini!
Giuseppe Verdi JoomlaX
Diese Erweiterung hat die Ladezeit meiner Joomla-Website erheblich verbessert. Die Installation war kinderleicht und die Einrichtung intuitiv. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, wie nahtlos die Konvertierung im Hintergrund funktioniert - keine manuellen Schritte erforderlich. Der Support reagierte schnell auf meine Frage zur Kompatibilität mit meinem Cache-Plugin. Mein Google PageSpeed-Score ist von 72 auf 89 gestiegen, was die Investition mehr als rechtfertigt. Sehr empfehlenswert für jede Joomla-Website!
Thomas Schmidt JoomlaX
私の写真ギャラリーサイトにこのプラグインをインストールしました。設定は非常に簡単で、インストール後すぐに効果を実感できました。画像の品質を損なうことなく、ページの読み込み速度が大幅に向上しました。特定のフォルダを変換から除外できる機能が便利です。サポートチームは質問に迅速に対応してくれました。Googleのページスピードスコアが向上し、SEOにもプラスの効果がありました。画像を多く使用するJoomlaサイトには必須のプラグインです!
Hiroshi Tanaka JoomlaX
This extension has dramatically improved my e-commerce site's performance. Installation was straightforward and required no complex configuration. I was amazed at how much faster my product images load now while maintaining excellent visual quality. The support team was responsive when I had a question about excluding certain directories from conversion. Since implementing this plugin, my Google PageSpeed score has improved significantly, which has positively impacted my site's SEO. The time and effort saved compared to manual conversion makes this extension an absolute bargain. Highly recommended for any image-heavy Joomla site!
