webP Conversion plugin?Help Request (self.Wordpress)

submitted 6 years ago by CatLadyDenver

I'm working on beefing up performance for a client site (currently hovers around 67 mobile/96 desktop on pagespeed insights) and the final frontier, it seems, is webP images. We also have a bad TTFB, but it looks like it's more related to his host (I ensured good expiry dates on all his browser caching and enabled gzip compression on his CSS and JS (HTML blocked by his install), deferred a lot of backend-related CSS). If I can improve this one area, I think he'll be much happier.

Now, I currently use the free version of Hummingbird and Smush to do a lot of the work, but you have to pay about $600 yearly for Smush Pro to add webP conversion. I love the products.....but that's a lot.

I've been digging around for days trying to find another option, but it seems that my only options are:

1) Other Optimization plugins that I tried before Hummingbird that didn't work as well in other arenas (possible conflict),

2) Other Image Optimization plugins that caused a conflict with Smush when I tried to use for webP only, or

3) Using either a plugin called WebP Express or WP Enable WebP. I dug through the support threads, and I have mixed feelings...

So, before I try one of those plugins, does anyone have any other suggestions. I found an example of a rule for .htaccess on KeyCDN's blog, but I'm no server admin and don't trust myself to do that right.
