403 in every png upload
This tool generates also a code which adds a src to your png, this source is a 403; src="//www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201228%20294%22%3E%3C/svg%3E" class="attachment-full size-full lazyload" Source is invalid which causes many 403 errors on your site. ALSO: It's not necessary to link to another source on a third plattform. This is just slowing down your site. Don't install!

Great Plugin for saving time
This plug-in will transform all your actual PNG media to WebP + automatically transform them in WebP when downloading new loud formats, in a beautiful manner. Simple in the presentation but powerful in the application. I recommend it a lot !

Best plugin for lazy images!
Works with ajax pagination. Reserve space for images and when the image appears content doesn't move.
