What is WebP
WebP is an image file format that Google developed in 2010 Google Says: "WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster" Sounds great but the web has been slow to support WebP images in desktop and mobile browsers. At this point in 2022 according to data at https://caniuse.com/webp about 95% of user devices support it. So I decided to try to have WeeWX produce all plot images in WebP format rather than png. Results were impressive, image size was reduced by roughly 50% , and I can't see any noticeably difference in image quality. Switched my website to all WebP images a few days ago, and no ones complaining, but it doesn’t get much traffic. Would really appreciate it if you take a look at my site , and let me know if you have difficulties viewing the images, and your comments on image quality. https://pauland.net Thanks, Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
