"Due to limited browser support"
We're in May 2022, time to revisit this!
can @webflow please add the votes with this wishlist item: https://wishlist.webflow.com/ideas/WEBFLOW-I-1102
Hi guys - This thread is almost 3 years old.
We all know about the importance of SEO to website owners and we all know that page speed is one of many core ranking factors - highlighted by Google pushing webmasters everywhere to aspire to achieving the standards laid out in their Core Web Vitals.
It's been said by lots of users already; images play a big role in how fast a page loads for a user - and supporting .webp would be a big step in the right direction for us all and for every user who happens to visit a site built with WebFlow.
According to https://caniuse.com/ .webp support is now greater than .gif which is supported by WebFlow.
I can see why you might choose to wait for .avif (unless you can also come up with an elegant fallback solution).
.png - 97.85% of global users.
.svg - 97.81% of global users.
.AVIF - 68.86% of global users.
.webp - 94.25% of global users.
.gif - 93.41% of global users.
Every client understands the importance of a fast loading site for users, and more and more are asking for site designers and developers to achieve 90+ scores on Core Web Vitals in their site build briefs.
So, can you at least provide a view from the WebFlow product management as to when, if ever, this might be rolled-out?

got to be time for this!!
It's time!
when? you guys it's 2022 this is a MUST
It's been almost 3 years.....
Get with the times webflow :)
Finally, you can use the WebP and even AVIF Image Format in Stacket today: https://stacket.app/
You can benefit from the WebP or the AVIF (even smaller images) Automatic Compression without any Webflow Image Modifications!
It´s time!
It is time.
WebP now enjoys universal support and is a key recommendation from Google PageSpeed Insights for improving page scores, particularly on mobile.
Pls, Add WebP or AVIF
please Webflow its 2022 now. We need next gen formats like WebP, etc.
I see this everyday :(
+1 to Brent's comment - WebP support is widespread enough to justify support by Webflow.
Yes!
note to admins above - browser support is no longer 'limited' https://caniuse.com/webp
just noticed cloudflare will convert all images to webp on the fly but you need to pay for a pro membership. It'd be great if Webflow would do this for us, it would speed up all webflow sites substantially and get better SEO scores for everyone. It's a win-win! Please UPVOTE people!
Seriously, i can't believe that Webflow does not support this absolute standard function in 2021. You advertise Webflow with things like "Search engines love us" but then you are not able to add such a basic function? I mean it's not a big deal, "limited browser support" is outdated - all of them support it now and who cares about the like 5 people in the world that use too old browsers? They are used to have issues... Image optimization is SEO standard now and and it is about time that Webflow adds this little, important function!
