Varnish is a content caching platform, which is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web application accelerator tool that can accelerate the loading speed of a website by up to 1000%, based on the content itself. Every time a visitor accesses any page on a site that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server when the visitor accesses it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not processed by the server and the web page will open much faster, since the Varnish caching platform can deliver information many times faster than any server software. The result is a considerably faster loading website, which means a much-improved visitor experience. If any of the cached pages is updated on the actual site, the content that Varnish saves in its system memory is updated as well, so the visitors will not end up seeing out-of-date information.

Varnish is available as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux hosting. You can add it to your hosting account from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with all shared hosting plans and you will get an exceptionally simple-to-work-with GUI, which will give you complete control over the data caching system. Using 1-click fast-access buttons, you can restart or stop any of the instances, i.e. Varnish will no longer work for a specific website. You can also check an exhaustive log or erase the cache for any of the sites. When you add Varnish to your web hosting plan, you’ll be able to select the maximum amount of memory that will be at your disposal for caching purposes and the number of the websites that will use Varnish. You can always get more memory in increments of 32 MB and, for optimal performance, you can set a dedicated IP for the websites that will use Varnish.

This amount is enough to boost the overall performance of multiple Internet sites. It will take some time for you to notice the results, since the Varnish platform caches the content that visitors browse, but shortly after that you will notice the significantly decreased server load and the increased site browsing speed.
