I've been working on an Elementor website for a while, using LiteSpeed Cache for optimization, and on one of the pages, the background at the top is set as a slideshow. But the images in that slideshow all show up as .jpeg when I analyze the site or inspect the elements in browser (I've only tested Edge and Firefox, and the images show up as .jpeg regardless of whether I use a regular tab or an incognito tab). I made a test page and inserted the pictures as regular image elements, and those are loaded in as .webp, so it's not a matter of the original image being more optimized. I also checked any other images on the original page, and those load in as .webp, despite being .jpeg or .png in the media library.
Elementor background slideshow does not use optimized images
