Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about FirePunch | Instant AVIF & WebP images for Advanced Custom Fields developers

Yes. To avoid crashing your server's CPU upon activation, the plugin does not run a massive bulk-generation script. Instead, it optimizes older images dynamically "on-the-fly" the first time a frontend user visits a page requesting them. Once generated, the variant metadata is cached in the DB, eliminating future file system checks.

Visit your website's frontend, right-click on an image, and select "Inspect" from your browser developer tools. If you see your original tag wrapped inside a modern block containing and tags, the plugin is working perfectly.

No crashes or errors will occur. The plugin performs environment capability checks. If your server environment only supports WebP, it will generate WebP variants exclusively. If the server libraries support neither next-gen format, it will perform a clean fallback to the original JPEG/PNG files.

Currently, this plugin focuses entirely on custom theme architecture, theme templates, and custom meta fields (like ACF). It does not scan or overwrite the textual content inside "the_content" block data, ensuring absolute structural speed and lightweight database performance.

No. Deactivating the plugin simply removes the frontend filters, returning your site to rendering the original JPEG/PNG files. All generated .webp and .avif files remain completely secure within your "/uploads/" directory to avoid accidental data loss, ready to be utilized again whenever you re-activate the plugin.
