Description

The URL https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timeline3/latest/css/timeline.css is returning a Content-Encoding HTTP header of "UTF-8". This is nonsense - the Content-Encoding header is used to indicate the compression that is used (e.g. "gzip"), not the character set. This HTTP header should be removed.

Research direction

Start by checking the response headers for https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timeline3/latest/css/timeline.css and determine where the CDN configuration for that asset is managed. Done means the response no longer includes the invalid Content-Encoding: UTF-8 header, while valid compression and character-set headers remain unaffected.
