jPEG has ruled for so long in image compression. but WebP is leaving a lasting impression this 2026. Google's own experiments showed that at equivalent quality,webp files are about ~35% smaller than jpeg, significantly reducing page load times.
>Imagine: users on slower connections get the same visual fidelity with less data.I switched out JPEGs for WebP across our image-heavy e-commerce site and saw a 20-40ms reduction in TTFB, just by changing file formats!
So if your images are bloated - give
Webp
, not. jpg anymore.
Forget about the lazy way of compressing JPEGs. WebP is where it's at now! ⬆️
