WebP Speed Boost

Make your website measurably faster. Automatically.

Every image on your site, served as WebP to every browser that supports it. Typically 25–35% smaller than JPEG/PNG with no visible quality loss — no theme edits, no re-uploading, no external service.

Why image weight is the #1 speed lever

Images are usually the heaviest part of a page — and the main driver of Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), the Core Web Vitals metric Google uses in ranking. Cutting image bytes is the single highest-impact, lowest-risk speed win available: faster loads, better PageSpeed scores, better SEO, lower bandwidth bills.

Zero-effort install

Install, toggle on, done. No theme changes, no image re-uploads, no build pipeline. Your existing media library is served as WebP on the fly.

Safe by design

Originals are never modified. Every failure path falls back to the original image — visitors can never see a broken picture. Global kill-switch for instant rollback.

True multi-website

Enable per website with independent quality settings — run it on your shop but not your blog, or tune quality per brand. Built for multi-site databases.

Smart caching

Each image is converted once, cached, and reused. Cache invalidates automatically when you replace an image; a daily cron keeps disk usage bounded.

100% self-hosted

No CDN account, no external API, no subscription, no data leaving your server. GDPR-friendly by architecture.

Correct HTTP behaviour

Proper Vary: Accept, ETag and immutable cache headers — browsers and proxies cache aggressively without ever serving WebP to a browser that can't render it.

How it works

  1. A visitor's browser requests an image and advertises WebP support.
  2. The module resizes the image exactly as standard Odoo would, then re-encodes the result as WebP.
  3. The WebP copy is cached as a derivative attachment and reused for every later visitor.
  4. Browsers without WebP support, downloads, GIFs and animations get the untouched original.

Built by a developer running a 100+ website multi-site Odoo deployment in production.

An honest note: results depend on your images. Photo-heavy pages see the biggest wins (often 30%+ lighter); pages of small icons or already-optimized graphics see less. Requires Pillow with WebP support on your server (a one-line check is in the docs). If you run a caching CDN or reverse-proxy cache, read the included Vary: Accept guidance before enabling it — we tell you exactly what to verify.

Do I need to change all of my images from png,jpg to webp? or does it change the old ones automatically.
