Auto WebP Converter & Logger<\/strong> is the smartest, safest way to serve next-gen images on WordPress.<\/p>\n\n

Most optimization plugins slow down your site with external API calls or crash your server by processing huge files. Auto WebP Converter is different.<\/strong> It runs entirely on your server using the native PHP GD library, featuring a unique Smart Memory Guard<\/strong> that calculates available RAM before processing to prevent crashes.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\ude80 Why Auto WebP Converter?<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • Boost Core Web Vitals:<\/strong> Serving WebP images significantly reduces page load size.<\/li>\n
  • Zero API Fees:<\/strong> No subscriptions, no credits, no data sharing. It's 100% free.<\/li>\n
  • Server Safety First:<\/strong> Detects low memory and conflicting plugins (like Smush\/EWWW) to prevent errors.<\/li>\n
  • Set & Forget:<\/strong> Auto-converts JPGs and PNGs immediately upon upload.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    \u26a1 Feature Highlights<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    • Smart Conversion:<\/strong> Converts the main image AND all thumbnails (Media Library, WooCommerce, etc.).<\/li>\n
    • Self-Cleaning Logs:<\/strong> Detailed conversion history with auto-delete (Cron) to keep your database clean.<\/li>\n
    • MIME Sync:<\/strong> Automatically updates WordPress metadata so browsers recognize the .webp<\/code> format.<\/li>\n
    • Privacy Focused:<\/strong> Your images never leave your server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      [youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CyhMgtOXuio]<\/p>\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/auto-webp-converter-logger<\/code>.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
      3. Go to Settings > Images to WebP<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      4. Save your preferences. (Default: Quality 85, Logging Disabled).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        Note: If upgrading from version 1.4, please check your settings as they have been reset to defaults for the new security engine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

        \n

        Does this convert my existing media library?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. The plugin processes new uploads only<\/strong>. We focus on optimizing your future workflow without overwhelming your server with bulk operations.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What image formats does this plugin convert?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        It currently supports JPG, JPEG, and PNG<\/strong> images.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I delete the original images after conversion?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. In the settings, you can check \"Delete Original Image\". If checked, the original JPG\/PNG is removed to save disk space. If unchecked, both the original and the WebP version are kept.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Will this work if I don't have an API key?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes! This plugin does not use APIs. It uses your server's built-in image processor (GD Library).<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What happens if the uploaded file is too large?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        For server stability, images larger than 15MB<\/strong> are automatically skipped. The event is logged if you have logging enabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Where are the conversion logs saved?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Logs are stored in a secure folder: \/wp-content\/uploads\/auto-webp-converter-logger\/<\/code>. This folder is protected via .htaccess<\/code> to prevent public access.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Will this work with third-party upload plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. The plugin hooks into the core WordPress upload process, so it generally works with plugins like Instant Images or frontend uploader forms, ensuring the correct MIME type is saved.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What happens if I uninstall the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Your images stay safe! The plugin generates standard WebP files. If you uninstall it, your existing WebP images remain on your site and continue to work.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does this work on WordPress Multisite?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. It is fully compatible with Multisite networks. Each site in the network gets its own isolated log folder.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Why are my images not converting?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
          \n
        1. Check GD:<\/strong> Ensure your host has php-gd<\/code> enabled.<\/li>\n
        2. Check Logs:<\/strong> Enable logging in settings. If an image requires more RAM than your server allows, the plugin skips it to prevent a crash.<\/li>\n
        3. Check Conflicts:<\/strong> If you have Smush or EWWW active, the plugin pauses to avoid double-compression issues.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/dd>\n

          Can I rename the plugin folder?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. The folder must remain auto-webp-converter-logger<\/code> to ensure you receive future updates from the WordPress repository.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
