Magento 2 WebP Images will work even better on different Magento instance since we’ve improved the HTML parsing for WebP conversion. Also, from now on you should face no errors during manual webp converting via bin/magento magefan:webp:convert command regardless of your Magento version.

Hello, Magento fans!

Since Magento is our favourite eCommerce platform and we all eagerly waited for Magento 2.4.0 release we are happy to bring the great news.

A Little Background

Our Magento 2 Login as Customer Extension made a great impact on Magento community. It's a valuable contribution to any Magento 2 store. That's why Magento got interested in adding it to Magento 2.4.0 core.

So, in the fall of 2019, Adobe Systems Incorporated, which owns the Magento platform, contacted us with an offer. Of course, we couldn't refuse, because Magefan are Magento fans.

Instead of writing new code from scratch, Magento asked about the integration, which we definitely supported.

Thus, we transferred the copyright for the "Login as Customer" extension to Adobe. Then in early 2020, we worked with the Magento Community Engineering Team on integrating our module into the Magento core. The module came out with code improvements and some new features. 

What's New in Login as Customer?

Website speed is extremely important when it comes to SEO. Since one of the main reasons for poor website performance usually is the number of pictures on the website there is a need to optimize them. The best solution for this is WebP, next-gen image format that is significantly smaller in size than JPG and PNG.
