Website viewed in Google Chrome displays weird code

Attempting to view my site on Google Chrome and occasionally I will get the following code displayed to me. This is a Wordpress site and it works great on other browsers, as well other users viewing in Chrome don't see this (that I know of).

Any idea what this code actually is and what might be causing it?

See a screenshot of what I'm getting here: http://s24.postimg.org/m93wtt26d/search_beauty_code.png

I'm using Google Chrome Version 26.0.1410.65 on a Mac

Your file has a wrong character encoding. The real encoding is "ascii-us" whereas the HTTP header and the meta tag declare the encoding as UTF-8.

First, you should try to set the wordpress default theme to see if the theme is the issue. If not, then try to check you apache configuration to understand why the document is encoded that way.

You could also try to change the meta tag (in you theme) to <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ascii-us" />, and the HTTP header Content-Type accordingly (via .htaccess).

The Content-Type header is not set in the server for that file.

Try to edit your .htaccess or PHP-code (when this content is being created/relayed by PHP) to include this header.
