Why Images Slow Down WordPress Websites
Unoptimized images are the #1 cause of slow WordPress websites. Uploading raw 3MB smartphone photos directly into the WordPress media library severely harms Core Web Vitals (LCP scores).
The Solution: WebP Conversion & Compression
WebP provides up to 30% better compression than traditional JPEG and PNG files without sacrificing visual quality. Before uploading photos to WordPress, convert your PNGs and JPGs to WebP using our JPG to WebP converter and WebP compressor.
