Image compression on mobile is way too aggressive

[arminunruh]

so i know you had these 3 active:

maybe one of them did this

but yea nevertheless, jpg images being webp images on your website is fishy, maybe its some setting in your webhost control panel or sth

oh, in your database i see this:

so you had the webp converter plugin installed
when uninstalling it probably didn't revert to using your old/original images

[pavloradich]

@arminunruh I didn’t use any of the image compression settings from that plugin (because you need to pay a premium for that, which I didn’t).

Can the that webp format conversion be reversed back to original?

Just tried to upload new image — same thing, super compressed :(

[pavloradich]

@pavloradich now I deactivated ‘converter for media’. I had no clue I even had that plugin:

Images still compressed but not renamed anymore

[arminunruh]

yea it seems just disabling that plugin doesn't do much, it still loads the webp files

[pavloradich]

This post is deleted!

[arminunruh]

yea im on your website

[arminunruh]

so you also had the litespeed cache plugin enabled i see.
it has lots of settings for caching and also image caching and webp images too.

my best guess is some caching plugin messed this up and after turning the plugin off its kind of still doing its thing

have you looked at your webhost control panel if there are any image / caching settings enabled? look at that

[pavloradich]

@arminunruh yeah :(

are you on my website right now? Asking so we both don’t mess with it

[arminunruh]

yea i said yes i am in my post before

[arminunruh]

ok so i tried everything i could,
you can ask your webhost

you can write:

In chrome, when i open the chrome developer tools, open the network tab and filter for "Images" and show the "Type" tab, I see webp images are loaded instead of jpg images. Why is that? All plugins are disabled.

Then see if they can fix it.

Also do this:

have you looked at your webhost control panel if there are any image / caching settings enabled? look at that

[arminunruh]

if you want you can also send the login to your webhost control panel to info@laytheme.com and i can take a look

[pavloradich]

@arminunruh I can’t give a direct login but it is hosted on hostinger. Maybe you have an experience with that?

[arminunruh]

no i dont

[pavloradich]

@arminunruh I asked my host to have a look at the control panel, since I don’t have an access to that myself.

[pavloradich]

@arminunruh but I doubt something was done by my host without my permission. Most likely it is some leftovers from one of the updated/half deleted plugin. I remember updating some of them recently, maybe issue started after that.

Shit I feel so helpless with this, since I understand almost nothing in coding. It all worked perfectly like 3 days ago

[arminunruh]

i uploaded this image:

it seems to have a great quality no?

[arminunruh]

when i activate the standard theme, it still only loads webp files, so its not a lay theme issue

[pavloradich]

@arminunruh yeah, I just saved it and it is webp and downsized in resolution.

Maybe it is not lay theme but wordpress? I also updated it recently.

[arminunruh]

no i have the same wordpress version as you

yea i just updated your lay theme, i didnt publish the latest update correctly yesterday

i opened a ticket here for the author of the convert media plugin:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webp-images-are-loaded-even-after-disabling-plugin/#new-topic-0

lets see

[arminunruh]

i see some settings in your database of the lightspeed plugin you used that seem to be related to webp:
