Webp and <picture><source will not work for me on chrome


I'm facing a problem, I just can't seem to find out what the problem is, I have:

<picture>
    <source type="image/webp" srcset="/images/meh_logo.webp">
    <img src="/images/meh_logo.png" type="image/png">
</picture>

On chrome, it's just defaulting to the png logo.

If I hover over the link in inspector, it shows the webp image.

If I open the webp image link in a new tab, it loads file.

My headers return:

image/webp,image/apng,image/,/*;q=0.8

If I change source srcset to img srcset - that will display the webp file.

Chrome: 70.0.3538.110

Tested locally on MAMP Pro and doesn't display.


Solution

  • The WEBP is a tree. The PNG is a rose. You used the code below...

    <picture>
      <source type="image/webp" srcset="https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/4.sm.webp">
      <img src="https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery3/1.sm.png" type="image/png">
    </picture>

    According to this source you should repeat the source, like this:

    <picture>
      <source srcset="https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/4.sm.webp" type="image/webp">
      <source srcset="https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery3/1.sm.png" type="image/png">
      <img src="https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery3/1.sm.png" alt="Image" class="tm-img">
    </picture>

    When I run these scripts in FF and Chrome they show a tree, thus show the WEBP image. What do you see?
