WebP is a modern image format that provides superior lossless and lossy compression for images on the web. Using WebP, webmasters and web developers can create smaller, richer images that make the web faster. WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index. Lossless WebP supports transparency (also known as alpha channel) at a cost of just 22% additional bytes. For cases when lossy RGB compression is acceptable, lossy WebP also supports transparency, typically providing 3× smaller file sizes compared to PNG. Lossy, lossless and transparency are all supported in animated WebP images, which can provide reduced sizes compared to GIF and APNG. Lossy WebP compression uses predictive coding to encode an image, the same method used by the VP8 video codec to compress keyframes in videos. Predictive coding uses the values in neighboring blocks of pixels to predict the values in a block, and then encodes only the difference. Lossless WebP compression uses already seen image fragments in order to exactly reconstruct new pixels. It can also use a local palette if no interesting match is found. A WebP file consists of VP8 or VP8L image data, and a container based on RIFF. The standalone libwebp library serves as a reference implementation for the WebP specification, and is available from our git repository or as a tarball. WebP is natively supported in Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, the Opera browser, and by many other tools and software libraries. Developers have also added support to a variety of image editing tools. WebP includes the lightweight encoding and decoding library libwebp and the command line tools cwebp and dwebp for converting images to and from the WebP format, as well as tools for viewing, muxing and animating WebP images.

In order to ensure that we provide even better products for our customers, as a firm that develops both mobile solutions and web development applications, we want to analyse the expectations and projections of the latter. Let's look at the web development trends we should be aware of in 2022. Why is keeping up with trends important? Because it enables businesses to respond to the demands and wants of their customers, software is created using best practises and recently appreciated advances. Users notice when something is usable, practical, or aesthetically pleasant and start hunting for the same things, which is why popular items are like that. How we design and utilise websites and web applications is influenced by a variety of factors. It is essential for both users and software developers. To address user needs, we want to create the greatest solutions. Continue reading if you are an entrepreneur. These trends may serve as sources of inspiration or guidance for your digital endeavour.
Almost 55% of website traffic in 2021 was produced by mobile devices. Individuals are shifting from laptops and computers to smartphone because they are more convenient and always available. They help us make purchases, communicate with loved ones, watch videos, and have fun. Building flexible websites and web applications will therefore be crucial in 2022. The primary characteristics of this design include thumb-friendly navigation that is designed for small screens, as well as a lightweight infrastructure that doesn't delay loading times on mobile devices. Offering a dark mode We mentioned this trend in our previous UX/UI trend analysis, and it appears to be sticking with us. Smartphone stoner interfaces always have a built-in dark mode, and mobile apps adjust their colours based on stoner preferences. It's now making its way into websites, where runners frequently have a simple toggle to change their satiny design to commodity more pleasing to the eye.
According to reports, more than 80% of Android druggies have their bias set to dark mode. It makes a lot of sense, because dark backgrounds with light sources and minor rudiments are less tiring to use. It is also better for battery life and our health because it reduces blue light exposure. If you use Gmail or Facebook, you have almost certainly encountered SPA. They are distinct pages that load on the first entry and only a few elements are loaded when the user wants to access different types of content. Loading time is critical in times of low attention span to reduce bounce rate and keep the user engaged. Single-page applications are ideal for this. Its architecture encourages fast web pages that can be easily expanded with APIs, and debugging is much easier than on traditional sites. It's an excellent solution if you know your target audience has a slow internet connection. Another step toward making web pages more accessible and faster, even on older devices with limited bandwidth.
