 * Hey, I just wanted to move with my WP-Blog to a new hoster (Uberspace), but had
   to switch back cause W3 Total Cache (latest version) wasn’t working any more:
 * Every time a non-cached page was called the first time, the page looked [like this](http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/8470/w3totalcacheproblem.jpg),
   either with APC as caching method or with default disk-mode enabled…
 * After the first call (and Cache being already generated for that page) everything
   was fine, either with APC as caching method or with default disk-mode enabled…
 * Any hint what raises the Problem? Do I probably have to reinstall W3 Total Cache
   entirely? I can’t help myself here and the hoster says it’s definitely a bug 
   in the Plugin cause there’s no errors in the logs neither in the debug-messages
   by W3 Total Cache…

 * looks like there’s something going wrong with the Browser Cache…after disabling
   Browser Cache everything works fine…does anyone know something about it?

 * after playing around with the Brower Cache settings, I could figure out that 
   there’s no problem when ‘Enable HTTP (gzip) compression’ is disabled…

 * This sounds like a issue with how your server is configured rather than something
   W3TC-related. Your host might already be doing some kind of gzipping.

 * Make sure that gzip compression isn’t running in your PHP configuration already
   and disable the HTTP compression on the browser cache settings tab for HTML and
   see if the problem goes away.
