WebP Conversion, NGINX and Apache

Hi,

I have Hestia installed with a Nginx proxy/ Apache backend setup powering a number of wordpress sites.

I’d like my sites to use something like WebP Express (WebP Express – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org English (Australia)) or similar to convert jpgs and pngs to webp on demand if they’re not created already.

I understand that because i have the Nginx proxy it won’t create these on demand using the plugin as the proxy is looking for the extension i think?

Is it as simple as removing the webp extension from this list of proxy extensions to pass it though to the wordpress plugin? Or do i need to do something more?

I am hoping this would help you: Delivering webp and avif doesn't work - #5 by eris
