WebPerf Nginx Serving WebP Images Demo Page

Added a new official site page for Nginx WebP demo at https://centminmod.com/webp/ for showcasing WebP converted images using my optimise-images.sh batch conversion script.

New optimise-webp mode to make it easier to implement WebP image serving on Nginx

• 30/04/17 New Option: optimise-webp mode

If you aren't using ngx_pagespeed for auto WebP conversion, then this is how you would do it

 

Yes it does which from benchmark at optimise-images/examples-optimise-webp-300417.md at master · centminmod/optimise-images · GitHub means an extra ~18-20% disk usage for webp copy but saving you up to >81% in bandwidth and faster page load times

 

Even easier with new optimise-webp-nginx mode

• 30/04/17 New Option: optimise-webp-nginx mode

 

Nah this Nginx conditional serving of WebP would be only useful for standalone image serving outside of database dependencies of image hash maintenance like in vB or XF. Unless you are writing out and serving attachments straight from static image urls from a directory. Though I think there's smarter folks out there that probably have ideas

 

Updated demo page with more info Nginx Serving WebP Images Conditionally Demo

including examples for auto generated galleries via optimise-images.sh tool

 

Updated the gallery generation for optimise-webp and optimise-webp-nginx modes so that images are lazy loaded optimise-images/examples-optimise-webp-nginx-300417.md at master · centminmod/optimise-images · GitHub

 

yay Firefox 65 adds official WebP image support now Firefox 65 released with AV1 and WebP support | ZDNet
