Why it’s not smart to only use WEBP images on your website

Yes, WEBP is faster, yes all new browsers support it but I have discovered that 59.64%
of Apple desktop/macbook users still use macOS Catalina. Safari on this OS doesn’t support WEBP images.

So you could use a script that first checks what OS a visitor is using and based on that will serve WEBP or JPG.

A lot of WordPress plug-ins do this automaticly but I’m not a big fan of plug-ins since you lose more control over your own site and on slower servers it will cost more bandwidth = slower pagespeed

Let’s keep it that way. LOL!
