Works great

On WordPress 6.4.2 works like a charm.

One of those plugins that you won’t realize you need unless you try it

WebP is growing in popularity so I am always in the lookout to use modern standard and formats. I was disheartened to see that there’s no way to add webp in my WordPress, unless i cam across this plug
