What is WebP?
Definition
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that provides superior compression for both lossy and lossless images. WebP files are 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPEG/PNG files with comparable visual quality.
Why It Matters
WebP reduces page load times and bandwidth costs. It is supported by all modern browsers. Using WebP instead of JPEG/PNG is a quick performance win that improves Core Web Vitals and SEO rankings.
