 * CE v1.0.9 / WP = v4.5
 * When I have ‘pre-compression’ and ‘minification'(HTML) ON, I can view a page 
   once. Then, if I load another page, it sends a blank page/error msg (in Chrome):
   “
   ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED” (expecting compressed content via header, but doesn’t
   send that way .. is what I understand this to mean?)
 * If I turn OFF minification at this point (Pre-compression still ON) and I load
   page (cache clears), I see the page. I can load 1 or 2 pages following this, 
   then I simply see garbage on screen after that.
 * If I turn OFF Precompression but leave ON Minification, site seems okay.
 * So problem seem to be centered on precompression being ON.
 * What seems to be the issue with precompression and why is this an option if it
   doesn’t work? -> (I have seen other replies here mentioning this should be turned
   off “if a problem”. I also see blurb in setup about this possibly not working..
   “
   _Needs to be disabled if the decoding fails in the web browser._“
 * What’s the issue with pre-compression = ON?
    Is there something I can do on my(
   dedicated) server to make it work correctly? Thanks..

 * This is related how your server compresses the data. Mainly related to PHP. It
   is anyway recommended to enable gzip compression on your web server instead of
   using the pre-compression.
