Hi @workarea,
Thank you for contacting us.
We understand your concern regarding the increase in backup size after installing Optimole. This is the first time weโve encountered such a scenario, as Optimole primarily focuses on image optimization and delivery through a CDN and typically does not directly impact backup sizes.
To assist you better, we recommend checking the following:
Backup Configuration: Ensure the backup settings are optimized and only include essential files and data.
Additional Plugins: Review any recent changes or additions to your setup, as other plugins or configurations may be contributing to the increased backup size.
Let us know if youโd like us to guide you through these steps. Weโre here to help troubleshoot and identify the root cause.
Best regards,
Hello, thank you for your help. I think the problem was that I had selected to save the images on Cloud and my server. Also Optimloe has created the different versions of the images in different sizes and that has increased the space used on my server. I have changed the settings and now it only saves to the cloud. The copy has been reduced to 700mb. A couple of questions:
1.- the images that optimole has created on my server can I delete them now that everything is in the cloud?
2.- when inspecting the web I see that the images are not shown in webp, I think I have it configured correctly. how can I do so that the images are shown in webp or avif.
Thank you.

Hi @workarea,
Please note that:
1- Optimole does not create any image sizes or versions of your original images. These are usually created by some other plugins or themes, as Optimole does not affect any of your original images at all.
2- To ensure that images are being served in only WebP and AVIF format, go to your Optimole settings then Enable โ AVIF support option and Disable โ Best format option
I hope this helps.
