WebP image support now available for improved site performance

<p id="">For those who’ve been asking, the wait is over: we’ve just added support for WebP images in Webflow!&nbsp;</p><p id="">For the uninitiated, <a href="<https://developers.google.com/speed/webp>" id="">WebP is a modern, more compact image format</a> that lets you serve high-quality images at a smaller file size than traditional JPEG and PNG formats — which means your site loads faster (and ranks better) without compromising the quality of your images.&nbsp;</p><p><strong id="">A note on browser support:</strong> while <a href="<https://caniuse.com/webp>" id="">a very small percentage</a> of old browsers don’t support WebP images, WebP is considered very widely supported (with coverage by more than 96% of browsers). That said, if your site visitors tend to come from browsers (such as IE 11), you may want to stick with more traditional image formats.</p>
