It's a celebration 🎉
Webflow now supports the WebP format 🚀
The WebP format is a modern alternative to standard image formats: (jpeg, jpg, png, gif, etc.) created by Google. The WebP image format often provides better compression than PNG or JPEG formats.
Why use the WebP format?
Using the WebP format allows you to maintain good image quality while reducing their size by 25 to 30% compared to a compressed PNG image. This translates to faster loading times and reduced data consumption for your website.
The results?
- Webflow sites that will load (even) faster! And Google Lighthouse appreciates that, as it's considered a next-gen format.
- Sites that are less harmful to the environment! 🌱
