Wordpress LScache Plugin: WebP Image Optimization has blocked product variation images from being shown
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 So heres what happened: I converted all the images in my Woocommerce site to WebP and the process took over a day. As expected, the page size has reduced and the page loading times have gone down. Great! However, all the images on the frontend are still being displayed in the same old formats (png, jpeg). Although they are displaying webp conversion inside the media library. MOST IMPORTANTLY, all the product variation images are showing a responsive placeholder on many pages. I figured lazy loading might be the culprit here but I turned that off and the same problem persists on many product pages. P.S: I only turn lazy loading on either in my theme settings or in LSC one at a time. Please help me out! My report no is: HYJMNPUL Hi, I tested few product page but it loads fine on me could you please do me a screenshot of it ? Best regards, Okay, now the variation images load just fine. I have turned the lazy load feature on in LSC as well. Lets see if anything changes. Perhaps caching was the issue. But, what about this However, all the images on the frontend are still being displayed in the same old formats (png, jpeg). Although they are displaying webp conversion inside the media library.
