How to convert new WordPress uploads to WebP automatically
New image uploads are one of the easiest places to start. Titanium WebP Optimizer can convert new JPG and PNG Media Library uploads to WebP locally, including registered WordPress image sizes, while keeping the original source images untouched.
How to set it up
- Install and activate Titanium WebP Optimizer on the WordPress site.
- Open the plugin settings and check the server capability status for WebP support.
- Enable automatic WebP conversion for new JPG and PNG uploads.
- Upload a test JPG or PNG image through the Media Library.
- Open the image status or Media Library column to confirm that the WebP sidecar was generated.
- Clear page/cache plugin caches if the frontend still shows an older cached image response.
