In website operation, image loading speed is one of the key factors affecting user experience and search engine ranking.WebP format is a modern image format that, with its excellent compression performance, significantly reduces file size while maintaining visual quality, and is gaining popularity among more and more websites.Then, does AnQiCMS support automatically converting images to WebP format to optimize thumbnail performance?The answer is affirmative.

It is necessary to note that this WebP automatic conversion feature is mainly forTurn on the setting after the new uploaded imageEffective.If there are a large number of non-WebP format images on your website, the system will not automatically trace and convert them.However, AnQiCMS also provides a convenient solution: You can use the WebP conversion tool attached to the background to batch convert the existing images of the entire site.This ensures that both new and old images can enjoy the performance benefits of WebP, further saving server storage space and improving access speed.

In addition to WebP conversion, AnQiCMS also provides a series of comprehensive optimization methods for image and thumbnail performance, helping website administrators to have more fine-grained control over image resources:

  • Automatically Compress Large Images:If the size of the image you upload is too large and you do not need to maintain the original high resolution display, you can enable this feature.The system will automatically compress the image based on the preset width (default 800 pixels, customizable) to further reduce file size, which is very beneficial for reducing server load and improving mobile access speed.
  • Flexible thumbnail processing method:AnQiCMS provides three thumbnail generation methods——proportional scaling by the longest side, padding by the longest side, and cropping by the shortest side.You can choose the most suitable generation strategy based on the website layout and design requirements, and customize the specific size of the thumbnail.The optimal thumbnail size can avoid loading unnecessary pixel data, directly enhancing the page rendering efficiency.
  • Batch regenerate thumbnails:When you have adjusted the thumbnail size settings or processing methods, there is no need to manually operate one by one. The system supports batch regeneration of all thumbnails, ensuring that the website image style is unified and loading is efficient.
  • Default thumbnail:You can also set a default thumbnail, which will be automatically called when no thumbnail is uploaded for the document, ensuring the completeness and aesthetics of the website content.

Common Questions (FAQ)

1.

2. Will converting an image to WebP format affect the image quality?The WebP format is designed to provide smaller file sizes than JPEG and PNG while maintaining visual quality.In most cases, after converting to WebP, the human eye can hardly detect any decrease in image quality, but the file size will significantly decrease.AnQiCMS's conversion mechanism will balance the file size and image quality.

3. If I enable WebP conversion and automatic compression of large images, which feature will be executed first?In most cases, the image will be compressed first (if conditions are met), and then converted to WebP format.This ensures that the image is already optimized to the correct size before being converted to WebP, thus achieving **volume compression effects**.
