Quick Summary

Why WebP Outperforms Standard JPEG

Developed by Google, the WebP image format was built specifically to accelerate the web:

  • Advanced Predictive Coding: WebP predicts block pixels based on neighboring values, encoding only the difference (residual), which cuts file size dramatically.
  • Smaller Bandwidth Footprint: Websites load noticeably faster on 4G and 5G mobile networks.
  • Improved Core Web Vitals: Shrinking hero images directly accelerates Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), a key Google SEO ranking signal.
