Varnish
Learn just what Varnish is. Get to know much more about web accelerators and their purpose.
Varnish is a content caching platform, which is sometimes referred to as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a web application accelerator tool that can boost the load speed of a website by up to 1000 percent, based on its content. Whenever 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. Thus, the web browser request from the visitor is not processed by the server and the web page will load tremendously faster, since Varnish can serve information many times faster than any server software. The result is a significantly faster loading site, which means an immensely improved visitor experience. In case any of the cached pages is updated on the live site, the info that Varnish stores in its system memory is updated too, so the site visitors won’t end up seeing outdated data.

Varnish in Website Hosting
Varnish comes as an optional upgrade with all our
Linux website hosting packages. You can add it to your hosting account through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting packages and you will get a pretty intuitive interface, which will give you complete control over the caching platform. Using one-click quick-access controls, you can reboot or shut down any of the instances, in other words – Varnish will no longer work for a specific Internet site. You can also check an elaborate system log file or clear the cache associated with any of the websites. When you add Varnish to your web hosting package, you will be able to select the total amount of memory that will be available to you for caching purposes and how many websites will use Varnish. You can always add more memory in increments of 32 megabytes and, for optimal performance, you can set a dedicated IP for the websites that will use Varnish. This will permit you to get the most out of your Internet sites and to have many gratified site users.
