About the Extension

Smaller images, faster shop

Convert images to WebP turns every JPG and PNG in your Shopware 6.7 media library into a WebP file, including all thumbnails, and delivers the WebP version automatically in your storefront. Images also get native lazy loading, so pictures further down the page only load when they are needed.

Smaller image files mean less data per page view and shorter loading times. This gives you a better basis for your Google PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse scores, for Core Web Vitals such as Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and for your SEO ranking.

WebP conversion for JPG and PNG

WebP is a modern image format with noticeably smaller files at comparable visual quality. The extension uses the WebP files wherever the storefront uses Shopware's standard image template, for example for product images, listings and Shopping Experiences, both in src and in the srcset of every thumbnail size.

Separate quality settings for images (default 80) and thumbnails (default 60)
JPG and PNG conversion can be enabled separately; PNG transparency is preserved
Your original files stay untouched: the WebP files are stored next to them and can be deleted with one click at any time
As long as no WebP file exists, the original image is delivered, so there are no broken images during conversion
Optional fallback: browsers without WebP support receive the original JPG or PNG
Debug mode shows the WebP path the extension looks for on every image

Native lazy loading

Images get loading="lazy" and only load when they come into view
Zoom, magnifier, slider and gallery thumbnail images are excluded, so product galleries keep working as expected
Optional fix for gallery images that are displayed too small

Built for large media libraries

Conversion runs in batches and adapts to your server. Before PHP reaches its memory limit or maximum execution time, the batch stops, and the next run continues exactly where it left off.

Images are indexed automatically when you open the WebP page for the first time
Number of images per batch is adjustable (default: 100)
Optional scheduled task: converts pending images every 5 minutes and, once all are done, checks for new or changed files
New and changed images are detected by their modification date and queued again
Problem images, such as extremely large files, can be skipped; source files over 200 MB are logged as errors instead of blocking the queue
Error log with file, message and date, plus "Retry errors"
Cleanup removes index entries and WebP files whose source image no longer exists

WebP overview in the Administration

Under Content > WebP you can see the status of every image at a glance:

Converted, pending and failed images with progress bar, split into media and thumbnails
Search by path and filter by status
Convert or reconvert single images; reconverting an image also refreshes its thumbnails
Estimated remaining time for manual and scheduled conversion
Status of the scheduled task with current phase, last run and duration
Maintenance actions: reindex, check updates, retry errors and clean up

CLI commands

Convert large media libraries without a browser, for example via SSH or in deployment scripts:

bin/console weedesign:images2webp:index – indexes all images
bin/console weedesign:images2webp:generate – converts all pending images (--batch=N sets the batch size, default 500)
bin/console weedesign:images2webp:check – finds new and changed images
bin/console weedesign:images2webp:status – shows totals, pending images, errors and the split into media and thumbnails
bin/console weedesign:images2webp:cleanup – removes orphaned entries and WebP files (--dry-run shows a preview)

Das Plugin macht was es soll mit Ausnahme tinypng.com"optimierter PNGs. Aber das wird sich der Entwickler ansehen und eine Lösung finden. Support5-Sterne!!! Super schnell, freundlich und er nimmt sich sehr viel Zeit, Zusammenhänge zu erklären.
Absolute Empfehlung!

Seite war vorher im Pagespeed etwas langsamer - nun nen sehr gutes Scoring - teste das Plugin gerade und werde es definitiv kaufen. Klare Weiterempfehlung! Auch außerhalb dieses Plugins wurde mir geholfen - Danke dafür. Ich dachte erst das ich alle JPG Bilder selbst in WEBP konvertieren muss - aber das geht vollautomatisch - man spart einiges an Datenmenge ein.

Nach Erstinstallation gab es kurz Probleme, die aber vom Support sofort gelöst und via Blitz-Release behoben wurden. Durch WebP habe wir deutliche Fortschritte in der PagesSpeed Optimierung gemacht.
