NO BUG: Problems between bricks and W3 Total Cache

Bugs
1

Hi, for about a month I have had an incompatibility problem between Bricks and W3 Total Cache.

The problem occurs both when running “bricks=run” and previewing the website and articles with a user logged in to wordpress.
The problem manifests itself with a totally blank page, but when you view the Console you get the following error “mywebsite.it/:1 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED”

What can it be caused by? If I disable W3 Total Cache the problem disappears but I cannot disable it as it is necessary for its speed.

Bricks 1.9
W3 Total Cache 2.4.1
Wordpress 6.3.1
Virtual Server 8c/16t 32Gb RAM
Debian 11
IspConfig 3.2
Apache 2.4
Php 7.4
Mysql
mod_security2 , mod_qos, mod_evasive for apache2 security

Hi @guidrex,

Thank you for getting in touch. I’m assuming this is your previous report?: NO BUG: ?bricks=run results in white page - no error.

Can you please share temporary admin access to help@bricksbuilder.io with a link to this thread so we can take a look?

I had solved the previous problem which was caused by “Lazy Loading” on W3 Total Cache, by disabling the flag on the plugin that problem is solved… this new problem is different because the error “mywebsite.it/:1 Failed to load” appears resource: net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED” which was not present in the previous post

Hi @guidrex,

Ah, I see :slight_smile:

So I found this in the W3 Total Cache forum: White Screen | WordPress.org

And after following the instructions to disable gzip on your website the builder is loading as expected now:

So looks like you may have gzip configured through another plugin or on your server and it was conflicting with W3 Total Cache.

I hope that helps :slight_smile:
