I just recently upgraded my site to premium hosting and I was getting this error on a few pages.
ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED

It was also affecting the ability to get into my Admin CP so I was unable to turn off GZIP Compression, as that is the cause of this error.

To do so within the panel, simply turn it off in Server and Optimization Settings within the Configuration tab.

To do what I had to do, and turn it off manually, navigate to /inc/settings.php and search for:
$settings['gzipoutput']
Change the "1" to "0" and save the file to your server.

This should fix the issue.
