zstd compression is breaking my site on Safari
Hi, this issue was reported a while ago here:
https://community.cloudflare.com/t/zstd-serving-to-safari-no-solutions-for-free-plan/820998/2
https://community.cloudflare.com/t/zstd-compression-is-bricking-my-website-on-ios-devices/803276
https://www.reddit.com/r/CloudFlare/comments/1k7mvw9/fix_for_cloudflare_pages_site_not_loading_on_ios/
In Safari, I'm seeing my CSS requested with
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
but Cloudflare is responding with Content-Encoding: zstd
. So I followed the steps in those guides above to add a new rule and opt out of zstd. However, when I click deploy, I get a bunch of error pop-ups at the bottom saying:
exceeded the maximum number of rules in the phase http_response_compression: 1 out of 0Seems like I can't do this on the free tier. I'm strongly considering migrating back to Netlify at this point.
