Why WebP?

WebP is Google’s image format that’s 25-34% smaller than JPG.
Same quality, much smaller file size.

Page Speed and Bounce Rate
Google research shows bounce rate increases 32% for every extra second of load time.
After 3 seconds, 53% of visitors leave.
Lighter images with WebP keep visitors on your page longer.

Real Examples
