• Hello everyone,


    For several years now, various optimisation guidelines have been recommending the use of the WebP (and AV1 / AV2) format for web projects.


    WebP is a modern, open image format developed by Google that is 25-35% smaller than JPEG.

    What's more, this format can be considered mature, with a 96% compatibility rate.


    Using this format has a number of advantages:

    • Less storage space required on servers.
    • Less bandwidth needed to serve these experiences to visitors.
    • Reduced loading times.
    • Improved metrics.

    And as a corollary :

    • Lower hosting costs.
    • Greener hosting.
    • A better user experience.
    • Improved SEO.


    *attention* It's about time we were able to integrate it into KrPano *smile*


    PS: There is also the AVIF format, which is more recent and more impressive in many respects, but for the moment it is much less widely adopted, with a 92% compatibility rate. But it's worth keeping a close eye on, especially in version 2 (AV2), as it could well replace WebP in the years to come.
