Use Delivery Assistant and Enable Modern Image Delivery

Test direct files and server/CDN behavior before serving AVIF or WebP to visitors.

Applies to 1.0.1+ Free Stable Verified August 3, 2026

The Delivery tab validates reachability and explains delivery choices without editing server configuration automatically.

Open the feature

Go to Media > Media Optimizer > Delivery.

Before you start

  • Generate sidecars for representative images first.
  • Include cached and CDN-served pages in the test plan.
  1. Run direct AVIF and WebP URL tests.
  2. Review server or CDN rewrite behavior.
  3. Enable HTML delivery on staging.
  4. Test browsers with and without modern format support.
  5. Confirm the JPEG/PNG fallback remains available.

What success looks like

  • AVIF-capable browsers receive AVIF when fresh.
  • WebP is the second choice and original formats remain the fallback.

Important notes

  • The plugin does not edit .htaccess or CDN rules.
