Varnish is a data caching platform, which is occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web accelerator that can boost the load speed of a website by up to one thousand percent, based on its content. Whenever a visitor accesses any page on a website that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server in case the visitor accesses it again. Thus, the browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will load much faster, since the Varnish caching platform can deliver content many times faster than any server software. The end result will be a significantly faster loading website, which means a much-improved website browsing experience. When any of the cached web pages is updated on the actual site, the info that Varnish caches in its system memory is updated as well, so the site visitors won’t see out-of-date data.

Varnish in Hosting

In case you host your websites under a hosting account with us, you will be able to activate Varnish with a few clicks of the mouse from your hosting Control Panel. The caching platform comes as an upgrade with all our shared plans and you can choose the number of the websites that will use it and the total storage space that will be available for the cached content. The two features that can be upgraded in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel are the amount of memory and the number of instances and they are not tied directly to each other, so you can choose if you need plenty of memory for one large-scale site or less memory for several smaller ones.

With the Control Panel, you can swiftly start/restart/terminate an instance, delete the cached files individually for each website which employs the Varnish platform or check a comprehensive system log file.
