Replacing JPG images with WebP is a quick win for website speed. WebP files are usually noticeably smaller for the same visual quality, so pages load faster and use less data on mobile connections.
Smaller files, same look
WebP uses a more modern compression method than JPG, which lets it describe photographs in fewer bytes. For blogs, shops and portfolios with many photos, switching can cut total page weight meaningfully, which is good for visitors and for search performance.
Practical advice
Keep your JPG masters, publish the WebP versions and test them on the browsers your visitors use. All current major browsers handle WebP, but some email, print and desktop programs do not, so keep a JPG for those uses.
Fitting it into your workflow
A practical routine is to keep your JPG files as the source, convert them in batches of up to 20, and upload the WebP versions to your site. Most content management systems and shop platforms now accept WebP directly, and many can also create the WebP versions automatically if you prefer not to do it by hand.
Good to know about JPG to WebP
Resize photos to the size they are displayed at before converting; that saves more than any format change.
JPG to WebP re-compresses the image, so avoid converting the same file repeatedly.
Metadata such as GPS location is not included in the converted file.
