 * Hi Guys,
 * I’ve been using this plugin for quite some time now. Everything has always worked
   smoothly, until a couple of weeks ago (maybe this has something to do with the
   WP 4.8 update).
 * When the plugin is activated, Chrome shows an ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED error
   really short and then reloads the page automatically, displaying the page properly.
   Firefox insists on showing the ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED page until the user
   decides to reload the page.
 * I don’t think I changed anything in the plugin settings. I did update to WP 4.8
   some time ago, so maybe this has something to do with it.
 * Could you help me solve this?

 * Disable every plugin and try it again. If the error is gone try to enable one
   plugin after the other until you see the error again.

 * Just disable your “compression” — you can re-enable it in htaccess if you need
   to. You are likely using FastCGI software.
 * WP Super Cache Settings -> Advanced -> DISABLE :Compress pages so they’re served
   more quickly to visitors. (Recommended)
 * If you require compression you can turn it back on using .htaccess
