Frequently Asked Questions about the Image Optimization Module

In this article, we address some of the most frequently asked questions about the Image Optimization module. Whether you're encountering issues with image SEO updates, WebP images, or server support for .htaccess files, we've got you covered with clear answers and solutions.

Question: Does image SEO update when you change the extension of images?

Answer: Yes, the image SEO updates when you change the extension of images. However, this update occurs shortly after the change and may take several days to fully reflect.

Question: Why do I get incorrect WebP images with the CreativeElement module?

Answer: The issue with incorrect WebP images in the CreativeElement module occurs because the CreativeElement module does not use the "getImageLink" function from the "Link" class. Instead, it takes the link of "home_default" image and replaces it with "_home_default" to get the original image link, which leads to incorrect WebP images.

Question: What causes the WebP image link error?

Answer: The WebP image link error is usually caused by the web server not supporting the .htaccess file. This file is essential for correctly serving WebP images, and a lack of support can result in link errors.

Question: Does Image Optimization change my images?

Answer: No. Image compression is the process of encoding or converting an image file in such a way that it consumes less space than the original file. It reduces the size of an image file without affecting or degrading its quality. Our module doesn't add any scripts to your site and all aspects of your image will remain the same, except the compression.

Question: Which image optimization method should I choose?

Answer: The Image Optimization module offers four methods: Google WebP, TinyPNG, reSmush, and a PHP script. For the best results, we recommend using a paid service like TinyPNG for higher compression rates and better quality retention.
