Facebook post issue – potentially linked to caching

    HI

    I migrated my website to another host few days ago.

    yesterday I wanted to post on Facebook a link to my new podcast page – ( which I have done many times before) – and in spite of the correct settings in Yoast SEO – it did not work.

    I tried to debug it – and got this error:

    Curl error 61: (BAD_CONTENT_ENCODING)

    still couldn’t post the link.

    It works fine on Twitter.

    I’m reaching out to you (as well as to Yoast) as when I searched online for this error, I found several posts saying that W3Total Cache was the culprit.

    I don’t know if that’s true or not, maybe something to do just with Facebook….
    but I would appreciate your thoughts.

    thanks!

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

    Hello @magicpowers

    I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing with posting on Facebook and I am happy to assist you with this.
    The (BAD_CONTENT_ENCODING) suggests that there is a double compression somewhere.
    In W3TC Performance>Browser>Cache, Gzip compression is enabled by default. Disabling Gzip compression should solve the BAD_CONTENT_ENCODING however, it would be best to find and disable the other layer of gzip compression (Potentially server configuration.)
    Go to Performance>Browser Cache, disable the Gzip compression, save all settings and purge the cache.
    See if the issue persists.
    Thanks!
