Modernizing Web Assets with Google's Next-Generation WebP Format
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for web images. WebP images are 26% smaller than PNGs and 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEGs, while supporting 24-bit transparency.
Major search engines and audit tools (like Google Lighthouse) actively recommend converting images to WebP to improve Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) scores and Core Web Vitals.
