When a visitor opens a page, the browser needs to download all the resources on the page, including text, styles, scripts, and images.If the image file is too large, the download time will be extended, and users may choose to leave due to the long waiting time.This not only harms the user experience, but also affects the website's ranking in search engines due to slow page loading speed, as search engines are increasingly emphasizing page loading speed as a ranking factor.Therefore, properly handling images is a key step to improving website performance and retaining visitors.
The tool to further optimize image performance is the WebP image format.AnQiCMS supports 'Whether to enable Webp image format', once enabled, the system will automatically convert newly uploaded JPG, PNG, and other traditional image formats to WebP format.WebP is a modern image format that, compared to JPG and PNG, can provide smaller file sizes while maintaining the same quality.This further compresses the storage space and transmission bandwidth required for the image.For non-WebP format images already on the website, AnQiCMS also provides a batch conversion tool for convenient one-time format upgrade of all images on the entire website, significantly improving loading efficiency.

Therefore, when operating an AnQiCMS website, taking some time to configure the image processing options in the content settings according to the actual situation of the website and the target audience will be a wise move to enhance the overall competitiveness of the website.
