Scan your Media Library and convert JPG/PNG/GIF images to WebP for faster page loads — without touching your originals.

== Description ==

* One-click bulk scan and convert of your entire Media Library, in safe small batches so it works even on shared hosting.
* Converts the full-size image plus every registered thumbnail size (thumbnail, medium, large, etc.).
* Auto-converts every new image the moment it's uploaded.
* Adjustable quality slider (default 82 — a strong quality/size balance).
* Originals are never deleted; .webp files are created alongside them.
* On the frontend, visitors whose browser supports WebP are automatically served the .webp version; everyone else still gets the original — no broken images, ever.
* Works with GD or Imagick, whichever your server has.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `stashpress-webp-image-conversion` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins screen.
3. Go to Media > StashPress WebP to run your first scan and adjust settings.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Will this delete or replace my original images? =
No. Originals are always kept. The plugin only adds .webp files next to them and serves the .webp version to supporting browsers.

= What if my server doesn't support WebP? =
The plugin will show a notice on the settings page telling you GD/Imagick WebP support isn't available. Most modern hosts support this by default.

= Does it handle image sizes generated by page builders (Elementor etc.)? =
Yes — it converts every size registered in WordPress's attachment metadata, which covers sizes added by themes and builders like Elementor.
