Varnish is a content caching platform, which is sometimes called an HTTP reverse proxy. It is a web application accelerator that can boost the loading speed of a website by up to 1000 percent, depending on its content. Each time a visitor opens any page on a website that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server if the visitor opens it again. In this way, the web browser request from the visitor is not handled by the web server and the page will load much faster, as the Varnish platform can deliver information many times faster than any server software. The end result will be a significantly faster loading site, which leads to an improved browsing experience. If any of the cached webpages is updated on the live Internet site, the info that Varnish stores in its memory is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the visitors won’t see outdated info.

Varnish in Shared Website Hosting

We offer Varnish as an optional upgrade with each and every shared website hosting and if you wish to use it, you can add it to your website hosting account via the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. There’re two separate features that can be upgraded – the instances and the system memory. The first one depends on the number of the websites that you wish to employ Varnish for, whereas the second, which is available in increments of 32 MB, displays the maximum amount of content that the content caching platform can store at any given moment. The Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-use graphical interface will enable you to terminate or to reboot any instance, to see comprehensive logs or to erase the platform’s cache with just a click. For maximum results, you can employ a dedicated IP address for the sites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your Internet site will open tremendously faster, which means more satisfied users and potential customers.
