Garbled text when compression is enabled

  • When using WP Super Cache with the compression enabled in the advanced settings, I get garbled text for any UTF-8 Hebrew characters. All the other characters in the page aren’t garbled.
    For example, the page HTML contains:
    <meta property=”og:title” content=”?????“???× | ???×?’?¨ 22 ??? ?????? ???‘?￠??? ???× ?‘???—?“?€?” />
    While it should contain:
    <meta property=”og:title” content=”????? | ???? 22 ????? ??????? ?????” />

    Our other sites that are hosted on the same server don’t suffer from the same problem ( enabling compression works fine with them). But when I copied the whole site, files and database to a sub domain on the same server, the problem remained on the new site.

    The problem doesn’t seem to happen on FireFox, but it happens on Chrome and Brave.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Are you using expert caching or easy? There’s an option in the advanced settings page to remove UTF 8 support from the .htaccess rules that may fix this.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried this now but it did not solve the problem. Interestingly the first time I tried it after setting the option and clearing the cache it appeared to solve the problem when testing with Chrome, but after I tested the page again from Brave browser the problem returned, and now it also happens on Chrome.
