I am over 100k deep into a CLI optimization of images and I just noticed webp is not enabled in imagick. I switched over to GD for now. My question is what impact does this have on the CLI optimization that is currently running.
XF 2.3 What image processor is used to optimize images?

Basically if you can, you should prefer to use imagick if possible over GD. Try to get it enabled one way or another via your host, you may have to put in a ticket for them to manually do it.
Yeah, I’ve used imagick for the last 10 years and I run a dedicated server. I’ll get webp enabled. I was trying to understand the impact to the current optimization run.
I think devs have confirmed in one of the discussions that GD works fine. The only issue was related to support of animated gifs.
As for the issue in discussion, I am not sure what the image optimization would have done if webp was not available on the server! Maybe the actual conversion would be happening once you switched to GD.
Best would be to restart the process after enabling webp in imagemagick? Any converted webp file should be ignored on a rerun.
