Varnish is a content caching platform, which is occasionally referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy. It’s a website accelerator that can increase the loading speed of a website by up to 1000%, depending on the content itself. Each time a visitor opens any page on a site that uses Varnish, the platform caches the page and delivers it instead of the web server if the visitor accesses it again. In this way, the browser request from the visitor is not handled by the server and the web page will open significantly faster, since the Varnish platform can serve content many times faster than any server software. The end result will be a much faster loading website, which leads to a greatly improved browsing experience. In case any of the cached pages is updated on the live website, the content that Varnish stores in its memory is updated as well, so the website visitors will not end up seeing old information.
