WebP

Definition: A modern image format from Google that produces file sizes 25 to 35 percent smaller than JPEG or PNG while maintaining the same quality.

Everyday analogy: Like a more efficient suitcase that holds the same amount of clothes, only it takes up less space in the car.

How we use it: In every performance audit, we provide WebP versions of the images with a fallback for older browsers. This often reduces load time more than any caching optimization.
