Check Apache server for AVIF and WebP image support

To check if your Apache server supports AVIF and WebP image formats, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check MIME Types Configuration:
    • Open your Apache configuration file (usually httpd.conf or apache2.conf).
    • Look for the AddType directives for image/avif and image/webp. If they are not present, you can add them:AddType image/avif .avif AddType image/webp .webp
  2. Verify Image Serving:
    • Create a simple HTML file with references to AVIF and WebP images.
    • Upload the images to your server and open the HTML file in a browser to see if the images are displayed correctly.
  3. Check for Required Modules:
    • Ensure that the mod_mime module is enabled in your Apache server. This module is responsible for handling MIME types.
  4. Test Image Delivery:
    • Use tools like curl to check the Content-Type header for your AVIF and WebP images:curl -I http://your-server.com/path/to/image.avif curl -I http://your-server.com/path/to/image.webp
    • The response should include the correct Content-Type for each image format.
