Varnish is a web accelerator tool, which has been gaining a lot of popularity lately, as it can increase the load speed of any website, at times even by one hundred percent, depending on the content itself. This tool is occasionally called a caching HTTP reverse proxy too and is used to lower the overall server load and to enhance the access speed for the site visitors. Whenever a visitor loads a page on a given website, the web browser request is taken care of by the web server and the requested information is delivered as a response. If Varnish is activated, it caches the web pages that the site visitor browses and if any of them is loaded for a second time, it’s fetched by Varnish and not by the web server directly. The boost in the performance is due to the fact that the accelerator processes the web requests tremendously quicker than any web server, which leads to much faster browsing speeds for the users. If any data is changed meanwhile, the cached webpages will also be ‘refreshed’ the next time someone opens them.

The latter comes in increments of 32 megabytes and is not linked to the number of instances, so you can add more instances and less memory and vice versa. In case you have a lot of content on a given website and you draw many site visitors, more memory will guarantee you a better result.
