Looks like Shortpixel or similar image conversion tools (that convert to webp) may not be needed. Personally, I optimize and convert image before uploading. Others prefer the tools to do the honours.

What do you guys think? Excited? Disappointed? No opinion???

Chime in.

]]> New Image Format- AVIF https://dev.lowendspirit.com/index.php?p=/discussion/1670/new-image-format-avif Mon, 24 Aug 2020 12:36:38 +0000 General vyas 1670@/index.php?p=/discussions It turns out there is a new (one more!) image format that some Web browsers (Starting Chrome85 and FF) will start supporting.
From the blog post (link below)

AVIF is alternative to JPEG / PNG / WebP / GIF, has better compression efficiency and has wider feature support compared to these formats. AVIF is designed to supersede JPEG and other established formats.

In the meantime, Safari is yet to support Webp.
