From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
Only just started habitually using WebP... I added AVIF support to my personal image resizing tool recently - https://tools.simonwillison.net/image-resize-quality - I mostly use that for screenshots though, and WebP works better for those.
Absolutely agree, for my photo portfolio website AVIF allows me to serve higher quality photos faster to potential clients. I’ll just drop my AVIF local support for Wordpress plugin here: https://github.com/ddegner/avif-local-support
AVIF consumes around 25 times more CPU during encoding as JPEG. Take this in consideration if you pay for the power consumption. And on the user-facing side, if you upload an images it takes f.ex. 12 seconds (sic!) and not half a second.
