Varnish
Take a look at Varnish, understand more details on web accelerators and learn exactly what is that they can do.
Varnish is a website accelerator tool, which has been gaining a lot of popularity in recent years, as it can increase the loading speed of any website, sometimes even by 100 percent, based on the content itself. This tool is occasionally referred to as an HTTP reverse proxy too and is used to reduce the overall load on the physical machine and to boost the browsing speed for the site visitors. Every time a visitor accesses a page on a particular Internet site, the web browser request is handled by the web server and the requested information is delivered as a response. If Varnish is activated, it caches the pages that the website visitor opens and if any of them is accessed once more, it’s fetched by Varnish and not by the server directly. The improvement in the overall performance is due to the fact that the accelerator handles the web requests considerably quicker than any web server, which results in much faster browsing speeds for the site visitors. If any content is updated in the meantime, the cached web pages will also be ‘refreshed’ the next time someone accesses them.
Varnish in Cloud Web Hosting
Varnish is offered as an optional upgrade with each cloud web hosting and if you wish to use it, you can add it to your shared hosting account using the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia Control Panel. There are two different things that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one refers to the number of the Internet sites that you wish to employ Varnish for and the second one, which is available in increments of 32 MB, indicates the total amount of data that the data caching platform can store at any given time. The Hepsia Control Panel’s simple-to-work-with graphical interface will permit you to delete or to restart any instance, to check elaborate system logs or to delete the platform’s cache with just a click. For optimum results, you can use a dedicated IP address for the websites that will use the caching platform. With Varnish, your website will load tremendously faster, meaning more happy website visitors and prospective clients.
