 * After upgrading to WP 3.9 and PHP 5.4 we began getting content coding errors –
 * Content Encoding Error
 * The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an
    invalid or
   unsupported form of compression.
 * The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an
    invalid or
   unsupported form of compression.
 * Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
 * It turns out that WP Super Cache was compressing files and just turning off the
   compression clears the problem. “Uncheck” the compression box in Settings, WP
   Super Cache, Advanced, Miscellaneous, “Compress pages so they’re served more 
   quickly to visitors”.
