      Webp has better compression than png and jpg which allows websites to load faster and consume less bandwith

      Google’s interests actually align with ours here. They want a good image compression format so pages load faster and they get more info from people instead of them bouncing. Besides the last part, we also want that, so it’s a win-win. Webp is legitimately a good image format.
