I wonder what is the difference in CPU usage on client side for WebP variant vs standard HTML? Are you causing more battery drain on visitor devices?

- lucb1e 2y agoIt depends. Quite often (this is how you can tell I live in Germany) mobile data switches to "you're at the EDGE of the network range" mode¹ and transferring a few KB means keeping the screen on and radio active for a couple of minutes. If the page is now 45KB instead of 95KB, that's a significant reduction in battery drain! Under normal circumstances you're probably very right ¹ Now I wonder if the makers foresaw how their protocol name might sound to us now
