Hello. Truonglv, have you done any tests? What is the difference (in size) between Image Optimizer and the built-in solution in Xenforo 2.3.0? Is it advisable to use an add-on? Thanks!

Granted, it is only about 4% of the users that can't see them... but it's easier with JPG and everyone can see them.
Also, WebP doesn't support the higher megapixel sizes that PNG and JPG do.

I was interested in the size. Perhaps the final difference there is 2 times. And there's no point in enabling WebP, it's probably not as energy efficient as compressed PNG with image-optimizer. Maybe, perhaps. I haven't tested yet.
About WebP, seems all browsers support it https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/faq At least that's what they promise.
There are still users that their computer is running older versions of Windows.
WebP is not something that I'll be using on my site as it is largely photography based and many people like to download the images to use as backgrounds. It is easier to just keep them in the format they can directly use.
