Why is my NextJS Image component not converting images to webp?
Reasons for Next.js Image Component Not Converting Images to WebP
Next.js Image component utilizes WebP images only when specific conditions are met. If conversion to WebP is not occurring, the following factors may be contributing:
1. Unsupported Domains:
Ensure that your image source domain is included in the `domains` array within the `next.config.js` file. For example:
```
images: {
domains: ['http://localhost:3000'],
},
```
2. Unoptimized Images:
If you have set `unoptimized: true` in the `next.config.js` file, this overrides the WebP conversion process. Remove this setting to enable WebP conversion.
3. Wrong Image Formats:
Next.js Image component only supports WebP conversion for JPEG, PNG, and TIFF image formats. If your images are in a different format, they will not be converted.
4. Image Optimization Disabled:
In the `next.config.js` file, if the `optimizeFonts` option is set to `false`, image optimization, including WebP conversion, will be disabled. Ensure that this option is set to `true`.
5. Cache Issues:
Sometimes, caching can interfere with WebP conversion. Try clearing your browser cache and reloading the page to see if the issue persists.
