Wordpress LScache Plugin: QUIC.cloud webp image optimization
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hi, LiteSpeed takes jpeg or png images on my website and converts them to optimized webp versions. Lets say an image is at path: https://website.com/wp-content/uploads/something.jpg. LiteSpeed creates an optimized version of the website at https://website.com/wp-content/uploads/something.jpg.webp. Now, what if I update the https://website.com/wp-content/uploads/something.jpg image with new content without changing the path of the image? Will LiteSpeed be able to detect the change and create a new optimized version of https://website.com/wp-content/uploads/something.jpg.webp that replaces the old image? If LiteSpeed cannot detect this change, what can I do to update the optimized images to use newer version? Please let me know if I did not explain the question properly. Thanks. The LiteSpeed Cache plugin wont handle that, because thats not how WordPress works, doing this, youre going against the design of WordPress, and thus also cannot guarantee plugins handles it either. If you, however, want to do it, then youd have to modify the database table _litespeed_img_optm and delete the information matching the given src path for the image, that would make the plugin think the optimization never took place, and thus it can be optimized again (you may have to click Rescan New Thumbnails to detect this). Its however unsupported, and its at your own risk. Ideally, upload a new image, and update the posts that require the new images. Thats the official WordPress way to do it.
