A great plugin.
The plugin is great — the images are really converted to WebP and the original files are deleted as expected. Congratulations to the developer. But I noticed two bugs: it seems to interfere with the generation of the site’s thumbnails, so the entire site ends up loading the full-size image only. Also, the quality level setting doesn’t work. I tested it by setting it to 10 and then to 90, and the output stayed the same. Another idea would be to add a maximum width limiter for images. For example, when I upload an image, I want it to be converted to WebP and also resized to a maximum width of 1000px (of course, this value should be configurable). It would be great to have this feature.
