README

A lightweight Magento 2 module that automatically replaces .jpg and .png images with .webp equivalents in HTML and JSON responses.
Conversion happens in the background, ensuring fast page loads and compatibility with all modern and legacy browsers.

Highlights

  • Seamless Integration: Replaces image URLs in page output using efficient HTML/JSON parsing. No template overrides or theme changes required.
  • Performance-Oriented: Designed to operate with negligible impact on response times, ensuring a seamless user experience.
  • Asynchronous WebP Conversion: Original images are queued for background conversion via cron jobs — no delay for users.
  • Frontend Compatibility: Works with Magento core features like fotorama, swatches, and ajax cart, sections etc.
  • Third-Party Extensions: Designed to work independently, minimizing conflicts with other modules.
  • Browser Support: Automatically serves original images to browsers lacking WebP support via a JavaScript fallback.
