WebP, this seems like plugin territory until there is a way to specify
multiple sources for an image in core.
I'm sorry, but 13 browsers does support it, and only 4 does not (Apple is
always late). Anyway, there is a solution for showing WebP in any browser
with a piece of Js: https://webpjs.appspot.com/
It would be interesting to offer a config option in WordPress to convert
uploaded files to .jpg or .webp, so user can decide. In my case, media is
80% of the site, so .webp would be great to trim disk storage.
