ECOMMERCE AND CMS ACCELERATION
Cache More, Scale Faster, Stay Online
Accelerate platforms like Magento, Drupal, and WordPress with a specialized Varnish solution, designed for optimal caching, scalability, and performance across eCommerce and CMS applications.
Smarter Caching for eCommerce and CMS Tools
For platforms like Magento and Drupal, slow load times and inefficient caching create unreliable web experiences, frustrating users and increasing operational strain. Varnish Cache performs well in many scenarios but misses advanced features like dynamic backends and memory management that are critical for scaling efficiently under heavy loads.
Varnish Software delivers a version of Varnish Enterprise purpose-built to enhance caching for open-source or on-premise eCommerce and CMS platforms.
Who is This Varnish Solution For?
Varnish means more performance, scale and security for your web platform:
Magento. Faster load times, enhanced cache invalidation and advanced memory management, for smoother, more reliable ecommerce operations.
Drupal. Deliver dynamic, content-rich websites with reduced latency, improved scalability, and better resource utilization.
WordPress. Speed up page delivery, increase cache efficiency and minimize downtime.
TYPO3. Scale your enterprise-grade CMS while maintaining top-notch performance for complex websites.
Liferay. Optimize portal-based applications with robust caching and enhanced support for high-traffic environments.
Why Use Varnish?
Whether you're handling traffic load or improving page speed, our solution ensures your web application is:
Fast
Cache more data to reduce load times and handle traffic spikes.
Reliable
Keep up with audience growth without extra server strain.
Scalable
Dynamic cache resizing for increased traffic and content demands.
Secure
End-to-end TLS support, rate limiting, header and cookie management and more.
Varnish Package for eCommerce and CMS Acceleration
Solution Features
A set of enterprise-level features to optimize your e-commerce or CMS environment.
End-to-end TLS support. Client and backend TLS.
Memory Governor. Dynamic cache sizing.
Dynamic backends. Dynamic DNS resolution of backend hostnames, DNS-based load balancing & service discovery.
Tag-based cache invalidation. Invalidate multiple objects based on user-defined tags with soft purge functionality.
Advanced header, cookie & URL processing. Manage cookies, headers and URLs using a clean API.
Rate limiting & bandwidth throttling.
Optimized VCL File. Tailored specifically for this use case.
Secure Data with End-to-End TLS
Native TLS for front-end and back-end within Varnish Enterprise.
- Reduce complexity
- Eliminate need for additional TLS proxy
- Configure listening end, cryptographic settings, certificates from within Varnish
Prevent Crashes with Memory Governor
A memory management system for Varnish Enterprise that can set limits on memory usage for the whole Varnish process.
- Greater cache performance by allowing more memory usage but avoid system crashes
- Easier life for admins
- Take full advantage of infrastructure capabilities
- Dynamically scale cache size based on traffic needs and memory availability
- Adjust memory target while Varnish is running
- Reduce headroom needs but maintain protection against sudden demand
Scale Seamlessly with Dynamic Backends
Automatically adapt to changes in backend servers and scale across multiple instances without disrupting service.
- Perform DNS-based load balancing and service discovery
- Improve resilience and service reliability
- Configure DNS resolution at runtime, where Varnish Cache only resolves once when you compile the VCL file
Efficient Cache Management with Tag-Based Invalidation
Assign tags to cached objects and invalidate objects that match the tags.
- Easier than identifying individual objects by URL
- Faster than standard invalidation
- Less prone to slow-down
- Includes soft purge to serve stale content and avoid misses while revalidating
- Flexible cache tag registration, flexible invalidation mechanisms
Advanced Header, Cookie & URL Processing
Easy-to-use tools for managing headers, cookies, and URLs. Use cookieplus, headerplus, urlplus & uri VMODS with a clean API to:
- Easier request and response handling
- Reduce cache variations
- VCL that is easier to read and maintain, so that future changes are easier to apply.
- Make sure tracking cookies & URL parameters (e.g. utm_source) don't jeopardize cache hit rate
- Sanitize URLs
- Remove unwanted headers
- Alphabetically sort query string parameters for a higher hit rate
- Remove port numbers from Host headers
Prevent Overload with Rate Limiting
- Prevent server overload
- Enforce rate limiting of user requests and throttle bandwidth based on user-defined criteria
