SEE IT FOR YOURSELF

Drag to reveal — same photo, 67% lighter.

Modern WebP compression at q=82 is visually indistinguishable from the JPEG original. The browser only downloads the lighter version.

WHY IT MATTERS

Image weight is the #1 reason your site is slow.

Images make up ~50% of an average page's weight(HTTP Archive, 2025). Every kilobyte you save buys a faster Largest Contentful Paint, a better Core Web Vitals score, and more revenue per visitor.

LCP is what Google measures to decide if your page feels fast. WebP cuts the hero photo by 50–70%, dropping LCP into the 'good' bucket on its own.

Pages with optimized images pass the CWV threshold 3× more often than pages serving raw JPEG. Your search ranking moves with that score.

Lower bounce, more revenue

Akamai mobile retail study: every additional second of load time drops conversions by ~7%. WebP shaves seconds, not milliseconds, on image-heavy pages.

Less bandwidth = lower bills

A typical e-commerce site serves 200 GB/month of images. Switch to WebP and that drops to ~60 GB. Your CDN bill follows.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. Mostly waiting.

No build pipeline, no CDN re-architecture. You install a plugin; we do the boring parts.

  1. 01

    Install

    Grab the plugin from WordPress.org or run the WP-CLI one-liner. No build step, no config file.

    wp plugin install tempaloo-webp --activate
  2. 02

    Activate

    Sign in with Google, get your free API key in 10 seconds, paste it in the plugin settings.

    tmp_live_••••••••••••••
  3. 03

    Convert

    New uploads are converted automatically. Existing library? One click on Bulk does the rest.

    Auto-convert: ON · Bulk: 1,284 queued

    Serve

    Visitors get WebP or AVIF based on their browser. Originals stay on your server, untouched.

WHO IT’S FOR

One plugin. Three realities.

We priced Tempaloo for the three types of WordPress user that usually lose out on optimizer pricing.

Solo blogger

Ship a post a day, not a bill.

Writing 10-image articles, one per day? Free covers ~25 posts/mo. Starter covers ~500. No credit card until you really need it.

Fits Starter →
Agency / Freelance

Five client sites, one receipt.

Growth license runs on up to 5 sites, 25k images/mo pooled. Credit rollover covers lumpy launch cycles. One invoice, one dashboard.

WooCommerce stores with thousands of SKU visuals. Business tier: unlimited sites, direct API for custom workflows, priority chat support.

Fits Business →
SAFE BY DEFAULT

Your site, your files.

Tempaloo is a pipe, not a storage locker. Here’s the short list of what that means in practice.

  • No image storage

    Conversion happens in-memory. Files stream straight back to your server, never saved on ours.

  • Originals untouched

    We write a WebP sibling next to each original. Disable Tempaloo any time — your site still works.

  • EU-hosted (GDPR)

    API and database run in Frankfurt. No cross-Atlantic data transfer, no Privacy Shield drama.

  • Per-site activation

    Each site gets one activation slot. Deactivate from your dashboard if you move hosts — no ticket required.

  • Signed webhooks

    Every Freemius callback is verified with HMAC before we touch your licence. Replays are rejected.

  • Key rotation

    Compromised key? Regenerate from the dashboard. The old one dies the instant the new one is issued.

THE THUMBNAIL TRAP

One upload = one credit.

WordPress quietly generates 6 to 8 thumbnail sizes for every image you upload. Most optimizers count each of those as a separate credit. We don't.

Competitors
ShortPixel / Imagify
1 upload × 6 sizes → 6 credits
Tempaloo WebP
BUNDLED
1 upload, all sizes bundled → 1 credit

On 1,000 uploads, that's the difference between paying for 6,000 vs 1,000 credits.

See the math against each one: vs ShortPixelvs Imagifyvs TinyPNG

FAQ

Frequently asked.

No — and that's the main reason people switch. WordPress generates 6-8 thumbnails for every image you upload. ShortPixel, Imagify, Elementor Image Optimizer count each of those as a separate credit. We count the upload itself: 1 image uploaded = 1 credit, no matter how many sizes WordPress creates. In practice you get 6-8× more conversions for the same price.
