Empowering your site with Varnish and Drupal

ejgreenberg

Improving the performance of your site is more than just caching static assets. It’s also about caching and accelerating all elements of your site to keep the entire online experience targeted, secure, and fast. Varnish, the open source HTTP accelerator, is a standard deployment for most drupal installations and is recommended for Drupal 8. Varnish enables more than just caching static assets — with proper configuration, it can also tailor content delivery on a variety of user-specific criteria and accelerate delivery of pages with dynamic content. Integration with Drupal 8’s native cache keys and full-page caching support offers better performance and online experiences.

In this talk, we’ll cover:

  • Real-world use cases for Drupal with Varnish

  • Drupal’s performance needs

  • Best practices for caching with Varnish

  • Varnish configurations for Dynamic and Targeted Content

  • Leveraging a global caching network for your ecommerce site

The audience will walk away with a better knowledge of how to empower their Drupal sites.
