About the Extension
Converting images in WEBP or Avif format is one of the most time-effective steps to boost your online presence.
With WEBP or Avif images you can achieve better ranking and broader reach in modern search engines like Google, Bing, etc... This way, your webshop achieves a better ranking for both page dimension and speed in search engines, by improving loading times.
Automatic and optimized to make you save precious time
The plugin saves you time by automatically converting all the media uploaded in the media manager. Thumbnails are also processed for full-fledged optimization. This allows the shop to provide a webp/avif alternative for images without the manual conversion or upload of the media files.
In a world where online competition can be harsh, having an optimization and automation of the media conversion can be a real time saver.
This plugin allows you to easily convert images in modern webp/avif format in a smart way. It works automatically, so you just need to install it and then you can forget about it*.
Technical information
It converts all major images format in more modern and web-safe extensions: either webp or avif. The extensions supported are JPG, PNG, BMP and GIF with only one frame. GIF images with more than one frame cannot be converted without losing animation, so they are skipped.
The plugin is designed to skip already converted images and prevent your shop from using unneeded CPU resources. It is also memory safe: it doesn’t matter if your shop has a lot of photos, you will not run out of RAM while processing images.
Installation notes
Once the plugin is installed, it registers a scheduled task to set the next execution time. You can either install it and just wait, or, if you want to have some immediate feedback, you can launch the custom cli command from sw6root:
$ php bin/console fourtwosix:convert-imagesAnother way to gather information is looking at logs saved in sw6root/var/log/ .
*Beware that for large image pools the overall conversion can take a while.
Additional notes:
- Webp format might not be fully recognized by devices using MacOS <=11 and safari version > 14
- Avif conversion is only available from the version 2.3.0 and for Shopware 6.6
- If you need support with external storage like: Google Cloud Platform or AWS S3 Bucket, aks us!
