WebP: Modern Web Efficiency
WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. It was created by Google to replace JPG, PNG, and GIF.
WebP is essentially the “best of all worlds.” It supports transparency like a PNG, compression like a JPG, and animation like a GIF—but with file sizes that are usually 25-35% smaller. For example, a heavy homepage background image might be 400KB as a JPG but only 120KB as a WebP, significantly improving the site’s load speed.
