What this module does for you
- The module offers a superior lossless and lossy compression for the images of your site which is highly recommended for Page Speed Optimization purposes.
- It is much more efficient than the standard image generation in PrestaShop, it doesn't have timeout errors and you can view the progress of the entire process.
- The images generated through the WebP Generator module are about 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index.
- Lossless WebP supports transparency (also known as alpha channel) at a cost of just 22% additional bytes. For cases when lossy RGB compression is acceptable, lossy WebP also supports transparency, typically providing 3× smaller file sizes compared to PNG.
- Generating images with this module will free up space on the server and the page loading of your site will become faster.
