Converter for Media – Optimize images | Convert WebP & AVIF

Converter for Media – Optimize images | Convert WebP & AVIF

Descripción

Acelera tu web utilizando nuestro optimizador de imágenes de fácil uso sirviendo imágenes en formatos WebP y AVIF. Al sustituir los archivos en formatos JPEG, PNG y GIF estándar por los formatos WebP y AVIF, puedes ahorrar más de la mitad del peso de la página sin perder calidad.

Después de instalar el plugin no tienes que hacer nada más. Tus imágenes actuales se convertirán a un nuevo formato. Una vez finalizada la optimización de imágenes por nuestro optimizador de imágenes, los usuarios recibirán automáticamente nuevas imágenes mucho más ligeras que las originales.

Hoy en día, más del 90% de los usuarios utilizan navegadores compatibles con el formato WebP. El tiempo de carga de tu web depende en gran medida de su peso y del nivel de optimización de las imágenes. Utilizando nuestro WebP Converter, ¡ahora puedes y acelerarlo en unos segundos sin mucho esfuerzo!

Esto supondrá un beneficio tanto para tus usuarios que no tendrán que descargar tantos datos, como para un servidor que estará menos cargado. Acuérdate de que una web mejor optimizada también afecta a su posicionamiento en Google. La optimización de las imágenes es muy importante.

Compatible con AVIF

Ahora en la versión PRO puedes usar AVIF como el formato de salida de tus imágenes. El formato AVIF es una nueva extensión – sucesora de WebP. AVIF te permite lograr niveles de compresión de imágenes incluso superiores, y la calidad de las imágenes convertidas después de la optimización es mejor que en WebP.

¿Cómo funciona?

  • Si acabas de instalar el plugin, puedes optimizar las imágenes con un solo clic. ¡El tamaño de la imagen será menor después de generar el formato WebP!
  • Las nuevas imágenes que se añadan a la biblioteca de medios se convertirán automáticamente.
  • Nuestro optimizador de imágenes no modifica en modo alguno tus imágenes originales. Esto significa seguridad para tí y tus archivos.
  • Cuando el navegador carga una imagen, nuestro plugin comprueba si es compatible con el formato WebP. En caso afirmativo, se cargara la imagen en formato WebP.
  • El plugin no hace redirecciones en modo por defecto, por lo que la URL es siempre la misma. Sólo el tipo MIME de la imagen cambia a image/webp.
  • Sin redirecciones significa que no hay problemas de caché, un funcionamiento más rápido y sin problemas de tu web. Si quieres saber más sobre su funcionamiento, consulta las FAQ del plugin más abajo.
  • No importa si la imagen se muestra como una etiqueta HTML img o si utilizas background-image. ¡Funciona siempre!
  • En caso de que la reescritura mediante reglas del archivo .htaccess esté bloqueada, existe un modo que carga las imágenes a través del archivo PHP. Entonces se cambian las URL de las imágenes, pero la lógica de funcionamiento es la misma que en el caso del modo por defecto.
  • ¡El resultado final de la optimización de imágenes es que los usuarios descargan menos de la mitad de los datos y la web se carga más rápido!
  • No pierdes nada – si tuvieras que eliminar el plugin, éste eliminará todo después de sí mismo. No deja ningún rastro, así que podrás comprobarlo con facilidad.

Convertir al formato WebP – ¡es el futuro de la optimización de imágenes!

¡Optimiza imágenes y eleva tu web a un nuevo nivel ahora! Instala el plugin y disfruta de una web que carga más rápido gracias a la optimización de imágenes. Seguro que tú y tus usuarios lo agradeceréis.

FAQ

How to get technical support? (before you ask for help)

Before you add a new thread, read all other questions in this FAQ and other threads in the support forum first. Perhaps someone had a similar problem and it has been resolved.

When adding a thread, follow these steps and reply to each of them:

1. Do you have any errors on the plugin settings page? Please read this thread if you have any errors.

2. URL of your website.

3. Screenshot of the Help Center tab on the plugin settings screen – please take a screenshot of the ENTIRE page.

4. Por favor, haz la prueba, que está descrita en las FAQ en la pregunta «¿Cómo comprobar si el plugin funciona?». Por favor, envía una captura de pantalla de las herramientas para desarrolladores con los resultados de la prueba.

Please remember to include the answers to all questions by adding a thread. It is much easier and accelerates the solution of your problem.

Configuration for Nginx

If you are using a Nginx server that does not support .htaccess rules, additional Nginx server configuration is required for the plugin to work properly.

Please read this tutorial for more information.

Configuration for Nginx Proxy

If you are using a Nginx server that supports .htaccess rules, but you still have a server configuration error on the plugin settings page, additional Nginx server configuration is required for the plugin to work properly.

Please read this tutorial for more information.

Error on plugin settings screen?

If you have an error on the plugin settings screen, first of all, please read it carefully. They are displayed when there is a problem with the configuration of your server or website.

The messages are designed to reduce the number of support requests that are repeated. It saves your and our time. Please read this thread for more information.

Error while converting?

You can get several types of errors when converting. First of all, carefully read their content. For the most part, you can solve this problem yourself. Try to do this or contact the server administrator.

If you get an error: File "%s" does not exist. Please check file path. means that the file_exists() function in PHP returned false using the file path given in the error message. Check this path and make sure it is correct.

If you get an error: File "%s" is unreadable. Please check file permissions. means that the is_readable() function in PHP returned false using the file path given in the error message. Check the permissions for the file and the directory in which the file is located.

If you get an error: "%s" is not a valid image file. means that the file is damaged in some way. Download the file to disk, save it again using any graphics program and add it again to the page. If the error applies to individual images then you can ignore it – just the original images will load, not WebP.

If you get an error: Image "%s" converted to .webp is larger than original and converted .webp file has been deleted. means the original image weighed less than WebP. This happens when images have been compressed before. Disable the «Automatic removal of files in output formats larger than original» option in plugin settings to force always using WebP.

What are requirements of plugin?

Practically every hosting meets these requirements. You must use PHP at least 7.0 and have the GD or Imagick extension installed. The extension must support WebP format. If you have an error saying that the GD or Imagick library is not installed, but you have it installed then they are probably incorrectly configured and do not have WebP support.

They are required native PHP extensions, used among others by WordPress to generate thumbnails. Your server must also have the modules mod_mime, mod_rewrite and mod_expires enabled.

An example of the correct server configuration can be found here. The link to your current configuration can be found in the Help Center tab on plugin settings screen.

Note the items marked in red. If the values marked in red do not appear in your case, it means that your server does not meet the technical requirements. Pay attention to the WebP Support value for the GD library and WEBP in the list of supported extensions for the Imagick library.

In a situation where your server does not meet the technical requirements, please contact your server Administrator. We are not able to help you. Please do not contact us about this matter, because this is a server configuration problem, not a plugin.

Also, REST API must be enabled and work without additional restrictions. If you have a problem with it, please contact the Developer who created your website. He should easily find the issue with the REST API not working.

How to check if the plugin works?

You can find more information on how the plugin works in our manual.

How to change the path to uploads?

This is possible using the following types of filters to change default paths. It is a solution for advanced users. If you are not, please skip this question.

Path to the root installation directory of WordPress (ABSPATH by default):

add_filter( 'webpc_site_root', function( $path ) {
    return ABSPATH;
} );

Paths to directories (relative to the root directory):

add_filter( 'webpc_dir_name', function( $path, $directory ) {
    switch ( $directory ) {
        case 'uploads':
            return 'wp-content/uploads';
        case 'webp':
            return 'wp-content/uploads-webpc';
        case 'plugins':
            return 'wp-content/plugins';
        case 'themes':
            return 'wp-content/themes';
    }
    return $path;
}, 10, 2 );

Note that the /uploads-webpc directory must be at the same nesting level as the /uploads, /plugins and /themes directories.

Prefix in URL of /wp-content/ directory or equivalent (used in .htaccess):

add_filter( 'webpc_htaccess_rewrite_path', function( $prefix ) {
    return '/';
} );

Para el siguiente ejemplo de estructura personalizada de WordPress:

...
├── web
    ...
    ├── app
    │   ├── mu-plugins
    │   ├── plugins
    │   ├── themes
    │   └── uploads
    ├── wp-config.php
    ...

Usa los siguientes filtros:

add_filter( 'webpc_site_root', function( $path ) {
    return 'C:/WAMP/www/project/web'; // your valid path to root
} );
add_filter( 'webpc_htaccess_rewrite_path', function( $prefix ) {
    return '/';
} );
add_filter( 'webpc_dir_name', function( $path, $directory ) {
    switch ( $directory ) {
        case 'uploads':
            return 'app/uploads';
        case 'webp':
            return 'app/uploads-webpc';
        case 'plugins':
            return 'app/plugins';
        case 'themes':
            return 'app/themes';
    }
    return $path;
}, 10, 2 );

After setting the filters go to Settings -> Converter for Media in the admin panel and click the Save Changes button. .htaccess files with appropriate rules should be created in the directories /uploads and /uploads-webpc.

How to exclude paths from converting?

To exclude selected directories, use the following filter:

add_filter( 'webpc_supported_source_directory', function( bool $status, string $directory_name, string $server_path ): bool {
    $excluded_directories = [ 'my-directory' ];
    if ( in_array( $directory_name, $excluded_directories ) ) {
        return false;
    }
    return $status;
}, 10, 3 );

To exclude selected files use the following filter (in this case with the suffix «-skipwebp» in a filename, e.g. image-skipwebp.png):

add_filter( 'webpc_supported_source_file', function( bool $status, string $file_name, string $server_path ): bool {
    $excluded_suffix = '-skipwebp';
    if ( strpos( $file_name, $excluded_suffix . '.' ) !== false ) {
        return false;
    }
    return $status;
}, 10, 3 );

Argument $server_path is the absolute server path to a directory or file. Inside the filters, you can apply more complicated rules as needed.

Filters run before images are converted – they no longer support converted images. You have to delete them manually if they should not be converted.

Support for custom directories

The plugin supports the following directories by default:
/gallery
/plugins
/themes
/uploads

If you want to add support for a custom directory, add the following code to the functions.php file in your theme directory (use a correct directory name instead of custom-directory):

add_filter( 'webpc_source_directories', function ( $directories ) {
    $directories[] = 'custom-directory';
    return $directories;
} );

Remember that this directory must be located in the /wp-content directory.

How to run manually conversion?

By default, all images are converted when you click on the Start Bulk Optimization button. In addition, conversion is automatic when you add new files to your Media Library.

Remember that our plugin takes into account images generated by WordPress. There are many plugins that generate, for example, images of a different size or in a different version.

If you would like to integrate with your plugin, which generates images by yourself, you can do it. Our plugin provides the possibility of this type of integration. This works for all images in the /wp-content directory.

It is a solution for advanced users. If you would like to integrate with another plugin, it’s best to contact the author of that plugin and give him information about the actions available in our plugin. This will help you find a solution faster.

You can manually run converting selected files, you can use the action to which you will pass an array with a list of paths (they must be absolute server paths):

do_action( 'webpc_convert_paths', $paths, true );

An alternative method is to manually start converting the selected attachment by passing the post ID from the Media Library. Remember to run this action after registering all image sizes (i.e. after running the add_image_size function):

do_action( 'webpc_convert_attachment', $post_id, true );

To delete manually converted files, use the following action, providing as an argument an array of absolute server paths to the files (this will delete manually converted files):

do_action( 'webpc_delete_paths', $paths );

Support for WP-CLI

The plugin supports WP-CLI, which enables faster image conversion from the server level. More information on how to get started with WP-CLI can be found in the Handbook. The supported commands are described below.

Checking how many maximum images for conversion are on website:

wp converter-for-media calculate

Converting all images:

wp converter-for-media regenerate

Converting all images (with «Force convert all images again» option):

wp converter-for-media regenerate --force

Does plugin support CDN?

The website files (WordPress files) and the images from the Media Library must be on the same server. If they are, everything should work fine.

If only your images are on another CDN server, unfortunately correct operation is impossible, because such images are managed by another server.

Current list of supported CDN servers:
– BunnyCDN (refer to the instructions before use)
