Yes, Webflow does support the use of the WebP format to optimize loading speed. WebP is an image format developed by Google that provides high-quality compression, resulting in faster loading times and better pagespeeds.
To upload a WebP image file to Webflow, make sure you have the proper file format. WebP images typically have the extension ".webp". If you attempt to upload a .jpf file, it will not show up because it is a different image format that Webflow does not support.
To upload a WebP image in Webflow, follow these steps:
1. Convert your image to the WebP format using image editing software or an online converter.
2. In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the page or element where you want to add the image.
3. Open the Assets Panel by clicking on the folder icon in the left sidebar.
4. Click on the "Upload" button to select your WebP image file from your computer.
5. Once uploaded, the WebP image will appear in the Assets Panel. You can then drag and drop it onto your page or add it to an image element.
Keep in mind that while Webflow supports WebP images, it's important to provide fallback options for browsers that do not support the format. This can be done by uploading additional image formats such as JPEG or PNG alongside the WebP version. Webflow will automatically serve the appropriate image format based on the visitor's browser capabilities.
By utilizing WebP images in Webflow, you can help optimize your website's loading speed and improve overall pagespeeds, in line with Google's recommendations.
