WooCommerce WebP 1.0
Description
WooCommerce WebP is a WordPress plugin designed to speed up your online store by converting WooCommerce product images into optimized WebP format. Instead of loading heavier image files on every product page, it automatically generates WebP versions and serves them to visitors.
This helps reduce page weight and improve load times across your catalog, which supports better browsing, smoother UX, and stronger organic performance signals. If you build storefronts with WooCommerce themes or Elementor layouts, this plugin fits into the workflow by focusing specifically on product imagery.
