 * So right after WordPress 5.0.3 update, this message started appearing when trying
   to access our website home and other content pages. I was able to get into the
   WordPress admin/dashboard for our site.
 * This site cant be reached The webpage at our domain might be temporarily down
   or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED
 * Turning off your plugin fixed the issue. Any other suggestions?

 * It could be related to “double compression” if your server compresses content“
   on the fly”. Did you try to uncheck **Compress pages so they’re served more quickly
   to visitors.** (WPSC Settings/Advanced)?

 * I was running into same problem. Unchecking Compress pages so they’re served 
   more quickly to visitors. (WPSC Settings/Advanced) helped. Thanks a ton!!
