Serve faster WebP images without changing your URLs.

== Description ==

**Seamless WebP** is the intelligent image optimizer that makes your WordPress site faster without the headache. 

Everyone knows WebP images are significantly smaller and faster than standard JPGs or PNGs, but switching can be a technical nightmare. Broken image links, incompatible HTML, and messy database search-and-replace operations often scare users away.

**Seamless WebP changes that.**

Instead of altering your database or changing your image URLs, Seamless WebP works invisibly in the background. It automatically creates lightweight WebP versions of your images and configures your server to serve them *only* when a compatible browser requests them. 

*   **Your URLs stay `.jpg`**: No broken links, ever.
*   **Your visitors get `.webp`**: Faster load times, lower bandwidth.
*   **Zero Configuration**: Just activate, click "Enable", and you're done.

### Key Features
*   **Invisible Delivery**: Uses smart server rewrite rules to serve WebP content seamlessly.
*   **Bulk Conversion**: One-click tool to scan your entire Media Library and generate WebP versions for every image size.
*   **Auto-Convert on Upload**: New images are automatically converted the moment you upload them.
*   **Safe Fallback**: Browsers that don't support WebP still see the original JPGs automatically.
*   **Clean Deactivation**: Automatically removes .htaccess rules when deactivated.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/seamless-webp` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Go to **Settings** or **Media > Seamless WebP** to accept the default settings.
4. Click "Enable WebP Delivery" to configure your server.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this change my image URLs? =
No! Your URLs remain exactly the same (e.g., `image.jpg`). The plugin configures your server to serve the WebP file content when that URL is requested by a compatible browser.

= What happens if I uninstall the plugin? =
The plugin includes a dedicated cleanup script. When you deactivate it, all server rules are removed, and your site immediately reverts to serving standard JPG/PNG files. Your WebP files remain on the server but are not used.

= Does it support Nginx? =
This plugin is designed for Apache and LiteSpeed servers (using `.htaccess`). It will generate the WebP images on Nginx, but you will need to add Nginx-specific rewrite rules manually.
