Speed up your site instantly. WebP images are smaller and faster, but Scout handles the complexity so you don’t have to. One click to enable. WebP is Google’s preferred modern image format for the web because it offers superior compression (lossy and lossless), creating significantly smaller files than JPEG, PNG, and GIF, leading to faster page load times, better user experience, and improved SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enable WebP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Log into cloudabove.com<\/strong> and open your Scout Control Panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on the site you want to optimise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scroll down until you see the “Image Optimisation”<\/strong> section. Click “Enable WebP”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save Your Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Click “Save image optimisation changes”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’s it. Your images are now being served as WebP to devices that support it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How It Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scout automatically converts your images to WebP format – smaller file sizes mean faster page loads. For older devices that don’t support WebP yet, Scout keeps copies of your original images as a fallback. Visitors always get the best version for their device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn It Off Anytime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Want to disable WebP? Just toggle it off in the same section. No plugins needed, no complicated setup. Scout handles everything for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

That’s web optimization without the headache.<\/strong> Faster images, faster site, happier visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
