WebP Conversion

WebP Conversion automatically converts uploaded JPEG and PNG images to WebP format. WebP provides better compression than traditional formats while maintaining quality, resulting in faster page loads and lower bandwidth usage. Original files are kept as backup. Converted images serve to browsers that support WebP while falling back to originals for older browsers.
