The Rise of Next-Gen Formats: WebP & AVIF
Traditional JPEGs suffer from macroblocking artifacts at lower bitrates and lack alpha transparency support.
WebP, developed by Google, supports both lossy and lossless modes with 24-bit transparency. AVIF, based on the AV1 video codec, delivers even superior compression at extremely low bitrates, making it ideal for mobile web delivery.
Optimizing for Google Core Web Vitals (LCP)
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) measures how quickly the primary visual content loads on screen.
Converting heavy 4MB hero PNGs into modern 250KB WebP images directly slashes LCP times from 4.2 seconds down to 0.8 seconds, significantly boosting Google search rankings.
