Why not? Particularly if you are creating a new website for yourself and the new website is image heavy. Google will eventually reward you by indexing your website with a higher search ranking.
• First, simply compress all of your JPGs using the "batch process" on: www.tinypng.com
• Then convert all of your compressed JPGs to WebP using: https://www.freeconvert.com/jpg-…
Or download "Bulk Images to WebP Converter" from the Google store: https://chrome.google.com/websto…
Or If you are using the newest Wordpress, enable the WebP plugin and it will automatically generate WebP from your uploaded JPGs on the fly.
- tinypng does webp, prob best doing the conversion before compression no?kingsteven
- Yes compress your JPGs with tinypng and then connect them with tinypng to WebPutopian
- I have used many JPG compression tools and tinypng.com hands down does the best JPG compression (free or paid) on the web.utopian
- Yeah, why are you doing what amounts to two compression operations? That seems.. not quite right.Nairn
- Best practice would be to use the picture tag and use both WebP and also JPG file as a fallback.yuekit
- But yeah, I can vouch for the fact that your SEO in Google will improve, based on nothing more than using Google's image format (admittedly it is also faster).yuekit
- According to Google's new algorithm updates...they're trying to force everyone with a Website to conform to their new WebP format...and yeah fuck Google!utopian
- @Nairn I tried both ways with and without tinypng's JPG compression > WebP compression...and just using WebP compression. The results are...utopian
- ...much better when you compress a JPG and then convert WebP while using tinypng. The files size and file quality is superior.utopian
- BTW use Google's Lighthouse tool and just follow every suggestion they make and your SEO will improve. Using WebP is in there somewhere, but there areyuekit
- lots of other random things they want you to do from a technical perspective that most sites aren't doing.yuekit
- I'm so glad I don't have to develop websites and I can focus on graphic design alone. :)monospaced
- @monospaced or you're just too dumb to create websites
