When you download an image and it’s a WEBP…
That’s the internet standard. Anything but that is going to take long to load.

PNGs are not that big, dude
Well webm was build for the web and png not.
It would of been nice to have Jpeg XL but that didn’t happen.
Dosen’t PNG stand for Portable Network Graphic?
Maybe? I just know that webm images load faster and are smaller.
Do you have any actual data for that or did you just read it on a blog about webdev and take it at face value?
Kind of both, I read about it and I know that WordPress and other CMS will convert images to webm.
Can someone please tell me why everyone hates on WebP? It’s supported by basically everything, has better compression, supports both lossy and lossless compression, and supports an alpha channel. It’s basically a trade-off between PNG/JPEG for compatibility and JPEG-XL for features and compression.
Lots of services online don’t support webp uploads, plenty of programs still don’t recognize webp, etc.
Ah. Guess I’ve just been lucky.
