Hello @dav74,
Thanks for your message.
1. It doesn’t really matter. Redirects are made through the .htaccess file without changing the URL. You can find out more about it in my video.
2. I don’t think it makes much sense. Original files are just a copy for security reasons, so you always have the original and support for very old browsers.
3. During uninstallation, the plugin removes everything after itself. Without the plugin, new images will not be converted.
4. Converted files are located in the /wp-content/uploads-webpc/ directory. The original files are not modified in any way.
5. No, there is no reason for this to be so.
6. Absolutely not. What makes my plugin unique is that it does not modify URLs or modifies the HTML code. Everything is done via .htaccess redirects, which is very quick and hassle free.
Best,
Mateusz
Thanks for your quick reply 🙂
Basically all my photos now on my website are reasonably low quality jpgs. It will take me time, but I want to replace them all with larger better quality images.
1. How will your plugin manage all my low quality jgs? Will it still try to serve them in exif/webp format?
2. Does your plugin have any issues with sites running on Apache / Nginx server setups?
Thanks for answer @dav74,
1. When the browser tries to download an image file, the server checks if it supports the AVIF format (if enabled in the plugin settings). If so, the browser will receive an equivalent of the original image in AVIF format. If it does not support AVIF, but supports the WebP format, the browser will receive an equivalent of the original image in WebP format. If the browser does not support either WebP or AVIF, the original image is loaded. This means full support for all browsers.
2. There are over 200,000 websites using the plugin, so I wouldn’t be honest to say that it doesn’t. Each configuration is different and I can’t predict everything. The plugin detects potential problems after installation and informs you about them with instructions. As a rule, in the case of Apache it is easier, because it supports .htaccess files. For Nginx, you need the Nginx configuration, but it’s all described in the plugin FAQ.
Thank you. Well should be fine. We are on Apache right now….
A further question. We do not upload that many images on a monthly basis. Some months go by and we upload none. Do you offer any type of “pay as you go” option, where we can pay as and when we need to do any upload (rather than having to pay every month)? Of course we would need the plugin to be active, so that the images were displayed in the new format.
