 * Gave it a try but when viewing the site I get nothing but a “Content Encoding
   Error” with Firefox or “ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED” with Chrome. Other caches
   I tried work as expected with the same site.

 * Just occcurred to me that maybe this has to do with the (minimally configured)
   local LAMP setup? When trying to view the WP site from another PC (so the cache
   should kick in) I see the above errors.

 * Have you tried to add this in your .htaccess file:
 * AddDefaultCharset utf-8

 * No, of course not, why would I do that? Haven’t seen that anywhere in the docs
   and it’s an utf-8 system and WP install anyway, without any problems in that 
   regard.
 * Also, why does there appear to be an update on the WP plugin page right now –
   but with the same version number as I installed yesterday (1.0.8)?

 * What apache version and php version are you using? Do you have gzip compression
   enabled in apache?

 * Apache Version Apache/2.4.7
    PHP Version 5.5.9
 * No gzip compression, and default settings for your plugin.

 * No, it’s a rather minimalistic site anyway with just a basic set of plugins, 
   it’s not worth it to dump any of this basic functionality as there are other 
   cache options which work fine. The other (heavier) cache plugins seemed over 
   the top for this site, so a lightweight cache plugin like yours would have been
   nice, too bad it doesn’t work out that way.
 * I really appreciate your free plugin and effort but it clearly isn’t working 
   in my case. Good luck and maybe I’ll check it out again later!

 * Cache Enabler release 1.0.9 is now available which allows you to disable the 
   pre-compression. Could you please install the new release and disable that option?

 * Fixed in 1.0.9.
