This would be greatly appreciated by many users, I think. The webp format is already on many sites by default. WordPress itself, with its domain i0.wp.com, does it for free.Well, that's a dead link now. I've been looking for the same.
Our "files" folder is now +4GB and most are images. I can very easily run a script to convert them all to webp and shrink the directory by at least 60% while keeping them looking the same, but how do I update the db with the new sizes etc?
Look at the difference in practice.
This is an original example image with 224kb (a white image with text)
https://thall.es/test.png
Now look at it converted to webp https://i0.wp.com/thall.es/test.png 61kb in webp format
This would be great in the optional core for those who want it. It would save a lot of storage, which I think not everyone has unlimited, and it would also improve the page loading speed a lot.
In practice, in PHP, to implement it:
Example of the code
Code:
imagepalettetotruecolor($img);imagealphablending($img, true);imagesavealpha($img, true);imagewebp($img, $dir . $newName, 80); <-- Image quality from 0 to 100 with 100 being the best qualityCome on PHPBB team, support the idea
