Varnish
Varnish can enormously improve the general performance of your web sites. Learn how to make the most of its power.
Varnish is a web app accelerator, which has been gaining a lot of popularity lately, as it can increase the load speed of any site, sometimes even by one hundred percent, depending on the content. 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 improve the access speed for the website visitors. Each time a visitor opens a page on a particular Internet site, the browser request is handled by the web server and the requested content is delivered as a reply. If the Varnish accelerator is enabled, it caches the pages that the visitor browses and if any of them is loaded once again, it is fetched by Varnish and not by the web server directly. The increase in the overall performance is due to the fact that the accelerator processes the browser requests substantially faster than any web server, which leads to much faster browsing speeds for the website visitors. If any content is changed in the meantime, the cached webpages will also be updated the next time someone tries to open them.

Varnish in Shared Hosting
We offer Varnish as an optional upgrade with each and every
shared hosting service and if you want to use it, you can add it to your web hosting account through the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. There’re two different features that can be upgraded – the instances and the memory. The first one pertains to the number of the Internet sites that you would like to use Varnish for and the second one, which is offered in increments of 32 megabytes, shows the maximum amount of content that the platform can cache at any given time. The Hepsia Control Panel’s user-friendly GUI will enable you to turn off or to restart any instance, to check in-depth logs or to clear the platform’s cache with just one click. For maximum results, you can use a dedicated IP address for the websites that will use the platform. With Varnish, your site will load substantially faster, meaning more satisfied site users and potential clients.

Varnish in VPS Servers
Varnish comes by default with all
Linux VPS hosting service that we offer given that the virtual server is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel, so you can improve the performance of your websites with only a couple of mouse clicks. The more powerful the plan, the more system memory Varnish will have at its disposal, but even with a less powerful package, the caching platform will be able to utilize several hundred megabytes, so even if you’ve got several sites, you’ll notice a considerable reduction in the server load and a considerably better webpage load speed. The platform will need to work for a while while the users navigate the site and as soon as the content has been cached, you will see the result. One of the upsides of employing Varnish is that a lower-end and less high-priced Virtual Private Server package will do the same job as a more high-priced one without the caching platform, so not only will your sites work better, but you’ll also spare some cash.
