Weekly Web Updates - February 24, 2020

The information that Drupal sends to the front-end caching servers to let them know what cache-able elements are present on each page is now minified. We were previously experiencing issues on page with a large number of cache-able elements where this information would exceed the size accepted by the caching servers and cause an error that preventing the page from displaying.
