Hey Atul, thanks for the comment. Where did you hear that WordPress might add native WebP support? I’d be interested to learn more.

I recently heard that WordPress is about to add support for WebP in near future. Thus switching to this new file format would be a good headstart.

Hey Paresh, these might be two viable options:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/webp-converter-for-media/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/webp-express/

Hope this helps!

My website had a lot of images and I want to convert all to webp.

It turned out that using the most basic Cloudflare CDN offering, available with SiteGround hosting was the problem. You could empty caches to temporarily fix the problem but you would have to invariably go back and do it again the next day.
Coincidentally the SiteGround SGoptimiser plugin has the webp converter built in.

That means all major browsers support it. Due to that I added a code on my theme functions.php that will display and allow webp upload. This time I have replaced all my images to webp. It doesn’t matter because only one or two of my visitors use old safari browser.
