How to Check WebP Delivery on FlyingCDN

Updated this week

FlyingCDN dynamically converts images to WebP format on-the-fly using the CDN. The original file extensions (like .jpeg, .png, or .gif) remain unchanged, even when the image is delivered as WebP.

To verify if an image is being served in WebP format, follow the steps below.

Using the browser’s network tab

  1. Open your browser’s developer tools (right-click on the page → Inspect, then go to the Network tab).

  2. Enable Disable cache to ensure fresh responses.

  3. Reload the page to capture all network requests.

  4. Look for the Type column. If it’s not visible, right-click on the column headers and enable Type.

  5. Check image requests. If an image is being served as WebP, it will show as webp under Type.

Confirming via response headers

  1. Click on any image request in the Network tab.

  2. Go to the Headers section.

  3. Under Response Headers, look for content-type.
    If the value is image/webp, the image is being delivered in WebP format.
