Varnish is a web app accelerator, which has been gaining a lot of popularity in recent years, as it can increase the loading speed of any Internet site, at times even by 100%, based on the content itself. This tool is occasionally referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy too and is used to decrease the overall load on the server and to enhance the access speed for the site visitors. Every time a visitor accesses a page on a given Internet site, the browser request is processed by the web server and the requested data is delivered as a response. If Varnish is activated, it caches the pages that the site visitor browses and in case any of them is accessed once more, it’s served by Varnish and not by the web server directly. The increase in the overall performance comes from the fact that the accelerator handles the web requests tremendously quicker than any web server, which results in much faster browsing speeds for the website visitors. In case any data is changed meanwhile, the cached web pages will also be updated the next time somebody attempts to access them.
