That (disabling Compression/gzip in Browser Cache) seemed to work for me.

However, I will note that I’ve been running with that setting enabled for several years without an issue. Nothing else on the server was changed, except WordPress/plugin updates recently.

I’m getting possibly the same issue.

What I see is garbled letters, almost as if Chrome is trying to display gzipped content.

Latest Chrome, IE and FF on Windows:

Response headers:

The Content-Encoding says gzip, but the decompressed content also appears to be gzipped (or just garbage?).

It doesn’t happen on every page load. If I force a reload, the page seems to work most of the time.

Disabling W3 Total Cache fixes this.

Strangely curl from the command line doesn’t seem to reproduce this.

Seeing the same issue as well.

Still having this issue. Has anyone else solved this?

I’ve worked around it by versioning the file name of the included files in my templates (eg style-1.css, style-2.css instead of always being style.css), but that’s a manual process and not ideal.

I was able to fix this by editing my .htaccess as described here

SOLUTION:

Open wp-content/w3tc/min
Edit .htaccess

You have to change two lines, between # BEGIN W3TC Minify core and #END

Change this line:
RewriteRule ^w3tc_rewrite_test$ index.php?w3tc_rewrite_test=1 [L]
To:
RewriteRule ^w3tc_rewrite_test$ index.php?w3tc_rewrite_test=1 [QSA,L]

Change this line:
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?file=$1 [L]
To:
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?file=$1 [QSA,L]

Basically, you need to change [L] to [QSA,L]
