Hi Vincent, I have implemented WebP images on one of my sites and found one big disadvantage. You can’t share the image on Pinterest or other social sharing sites. My specific website relies a lot on pinterest traffic and many people share the images from the site to Pinterest. However, if the image is WebP, Pinterest shows an error that “image is not supported”, so that’s a big negative. Reply
Thanks for that additional info Glenn! Definitely something to consider. I’m hoping that WebP support increases as time goes on in both browsers and social media so we can all take advantage of its benefits without the drawbacks. Reply
Hello Glenn Sorry for my writing, I’m Brazilian and I speak very little English. The Yoast Plugin has an alternative for you to register the sharing image, you could be configuring this image through this functionality. So, wordpress instead of grabbing your default highlight image of WP, will get it registered there. I did a test and it worked. Reply
