Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SEV Rewrite-Free WebP for W3TC

No. Image conversion is handled entirely by W3 Total Cache ImageService. This plugin only rewrites image URLs in the generated HTML when a WebP version already exists.

Unlike traditional WebP solutions, this plugin does not require Apache or Nginx rewrite rules. No changes to .htaccess or web server configuration are needed. Instead, it rewrites image URLs in the generated HTML before the page is sent to the visitor.

Yes. The plugin supports WordPress multisite installations. Each site automatically uses its own W3 Total Cache ImageService-generated WebP images.

No. The plugin only rewrites image URLs when the browser's Accept header includes image/webp. Other browsers continue to receive the original image formats.

Yes. The plugin replaces URLs in src, srcset, data-src, and data-srcset attributes, making it compatible with most lazy-loading solutions.
