Varnish
Discover Varnish, understand more on web accelerators and discover exactly what is that they can do.
Varnish is a content caching platform, which is sometimes referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web application accelerator tool that can improve the loading speed of a website by up to 1000%, based on the content itself. Whenever a visitor opens any page on a website that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server when the visitor opens it again. Thus, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will load significantly faster, since the Varnish caching platform can deliver data many times faster than any web server software. The end result is a considerably faster loading page, which means a much-improved browsing experience. If any of the cached webpages is updated on the live Internet site, the info that Varnish keeps in its system memory is ‘refreshed’ too, so the website visitors will never end up seeing outdated content.
