Google’s odd webP speed myth debunked.
WEBP.NOT
Inspired by the popular Google image format.
Does webP improve your site speed and speed test scores?
Nope.
The webP.not ebook explains why these smaller file gains are insignificant for page speed. Don’t be buffaloed by blogs regurgitating Google hype without testing webP. Save your self the wasted effort.
There are premium plugins and services that have jumped on the bandwagon, tooting that webP is speed salvation. Not true. Don’t get locked in to recurring *annual renewal* plugins. Save your money and time.
Their motivation is differentiating their product in an increasing competitive game. It sounds too good to be true. And it is hot air. Vaporous untruth. They aren’t offering anything special. Marketing weasel words galore.
Contrary to web myth, there is no benefit from using WebP image format.
Virtually lossless JPEG format with a quality setting of 82 (WordPress default)
produces better or equal results. WebP conversion wastes web resources and
often costs money.
The WEBP.NOT ebook contains before and after tests demonstrating no or little improvement for webP image format. Get mobile WordPress speed!
“I paid between $400 and $650 a month for SEO services promising me ‘first page on Google’ that actually harmed my website’s visibility in search. They even tried to dupe users of a more popular site to visit mine! Now that I don’t pay for SEO and only focus on delivering audience-friendly content my site legitimately rivals that site.” Walkerville Vet Australia
