# Errors: : cURL error 61: Unrecognized content encoding type.

 * I recently activated WP Super Cache and I seem to have a problem I cannot find
   any answers to. After following a simple beginners guide to be sure I had the
   optimum options activated, I clicked “Test Cache” to see if everything was working.
   I got three failures!
 *     ```
       Fetching http://sunnyoakslakebastrop.com/ to prime cache: FAILED
   
       Errors: : cURL error 61: Unrecognized content encoding type. libcurl understands deflate, gzip content encodings.
       Fetching first copy of http://sunnyoakslakebastrop.com/: FAILED
   
       Errors: : cURL error 61: Unrecognized content encoding type. libcurl understands deflate, gzip content encodings.
       Fetching second copy of http://sunnyoakslakebastrop.com/: FAILED
   
       Errors: : cURL error 61: Unrecognized content encoding type. libcurl understands deflate, gzip content encodings.
       The pages do not match! Timestamps differ or were not found!
       ```
   
 * When I view page source, at the bottom I get
 *     ```
       <!-- Dynamic page generated in 0.745 seconds. -->
       <!-- Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2022-05-06 23:12:21 -->
   
       <!-- super cache -->
       ```
   
 * So it seems to be working. When I try to check the debug, I get a godaddy security
   warning. I can access it via the FTP. I see cached files in the folder. I’m just
   not sure what to do about these warnings. Any suggestions??
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferrors-curl-error-61-unrecognized-content-encoding-type%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * It’s something to do with your hosting unfortunately but I doubt it will interfere
   with the plugin actually caching.
