In https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35725 we added core support for
the WebP image format. On the ticket, discussed studying the best
compression level ("quality) setting to use for WebP images

[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35725#comment:101 ref). In the end
we decided to use the same default quality as JPEG images use for our
initial pass.
However, given the differences between the formats (and in anticipation of
even newer formats), we should consider what the best default quality
setting would be for WebP images.
Some details on how we can test compression settings and arrive at an
ideal level is outliner in
