It's a party 🎉
Webflow now supports the Webp format 🚀
The WebP format is an alternative to the standard image formats: (jpeg, jpg, png, gif etc.) created by Google. The Webp image format often offers better compression than PNG or JPEG.
Why use the Webp format?
Using the Webp format allows you to maintain good image quality while reducing their weight by 25-30% compared to a compressed image in png format. This translates into faster loading speeds and reduced data consumption of your website.
The result?
- Webflow sites that load (even) faster! And Google Lighthouse appreciates this, as it is a so-called next-gent format
- Sites that pollute less! 🌱
