    i turned off all of your plugins and uploaded an image

    Screenshot 2023-08-09 at 22.01.26.png

    when i right click one of your images, it wants to save it as a webp which is not normal because it is a jpg image

    maybe in your webhost settings there are some image/webp compression settings turned on?

    your htaccess file contained some "ls cache" statements and you had another htaccess file that contained some image

    i uploaded a 3mb jpg file of mine and put the image here:
    https://pavloradich.com/hello-world/

    in the media library it looks correct:

    but on the website it has the wrong filesize, probably because its turned into a webp somehow:

    i know i recommended this plugin:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/webp-converter-for-media/

    it turns jpgs into webp did you use that?

    can you try to re-upload an image of your frontpage again now and put it on the website and see if it looks better?

    at least the image that i uploaded seems to look fine, whereas many of the original images that you have uploaded seem to have like 90% compression

    @arminunruh I didn’t use any of the image compression settings from that plugin (because you need to pay a premium for that, which I didn’t).

    Can the that webp format conversion be reversed back to original?

    Just tried to upload new image — same thing, super compressed :(

      @pavloradich now I deactivated ‘converter for media’. I had no clue I even had that plugin:

      Images still compressed but not renamed anymore

        yea it seems just disabling that plugin doesn't do much, it still loads the webp files

              so you also had the litespeed cache plugin enabled i see.
              it has lots of settings for caching and also image caching and webp images too.

              my best guess is some caching plugin messed this up and after turning the plugin off its kind of still doing its thing

              have you looked at your webhost control panel if there are any image / caching settings enabled? look at that

                    ok so i tried everything i could,
                    you can ask your webhost

                    you can write:

                    In chrome, when i open the chrome developer tools, open the network tab and filter for "Images" and show the "Type" tab, I see webp images are loaded instead of jpg images. Why is that? All plugins are disabled.

                    Then see if they can fix it.

                    Also do this:

                    have you looked at your webhost control panel if there are any image / caching settings enabled? look at that

                        @arminunruh I can’t give a direct login but it is hosted on hostinger. Maybe you have an experience with that?

                            @arminunruh I asked my host to have a look at the control panel, since I don’t have an access to that myself.

                              @arminunruh but I doubt something was done by my host without my permission. Most likely it is some leftovers from one of the updated/half deleted plugin. I remember updating some of them recently, maybe issue started after that.

                              Shit I feel so helpless with this, since I understand almost nothing in coding. It all worked perfectly like 3 days ago

                                    @arminunruh yeah, I just saved it and it is webp and downsized in resolution.

                                    Maybe it is not lay theme but wordpress? I also updated it recently.

                                        i see some settings in your database of the lightspeed plugin you used that seem to be related to webp:

                                          in the lightspeed plugin there are lots of settings for image optimization

                                          when i turn them off, it doesnt seem to change anything :D

                                          your webhost has caching too:

                                          maybe your webhost can fix it
