I'm using Smush for image-optimization which is pretty good, although sadly S3 doesn't appear to understand the mime type of WebP by default, and the S3 addon for WP2Static doesn't (yet) have an option to specify your own metadata based on file type. Still many, many optimizations left to exploit :)

Thanks for the mention, haven't really looked at doing image optimization on WP, might transition to that. Currently using npmjs.com/package/gulp-imagemin.

I will soon do something similar to this medium.com/nona-web/converting-ima... to do optimization on the "fly" for one of the internal company projects.

Oh now you've got me thinking about a Lambda@Edge integration to rewrite any jpg/png requests to a generated WebP version, I could even fix the metadata in the response to guarantee it works! adds to list

That's exactly the plan :) Also if you just want to change metadata/headers look into the newly released CloudFront Functions, those are less expensive and a perfect use case for header rewrites etc.
