The short answer
For websites, WebP is usually the better default. It often gives you a smaller file at similar visual quality.
JPG is still useful when you need maximum compatibility or you are passing files between older tools.
Use WebP for
Landing pages, blog images, product screenshots, galleries, and most CMS images. If the image lives on a website, try WebP first.

Photos that need broad tool compatibility, email attachments for less technical recipients, or workflows where someone may edit the file later.
