Hi, Prestashop Community Members. I’ve been recently playing with Varnish 4 as an attempt to reduce my Prestashop 1.6 site’s loading time. So far so good, the loading time have now decreased to ~1.5s and decided to share my VCL with the community so that we can create a big-single VCL configuration file for Varnish 4 for performance, security and a high hit-rate with the feedback from the whole community.
Varnish 4 VCL for Prestashop v0.2 (Updated on May 06th, 2016):
# # This is an example VCL file for Varnish. # # It does not do anything by default, delegating control to the # builtin VCL. The builtin VCL is called when there is no explicit # return statement. # # See the VCL chapters in the Users Guide at https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/ # and http://varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExamples for more examples. # Marker to tell the VCL compiler that this VCL has been adapted to the # new 4.0 format. vcl 4.0; # Default backend definition. Set this to point to your content server. backend default { .host = "127.0.0.1"; .port = "8080"; } sub vcl_recv { # Only deal with "normal" types if (req.method != "GET" && req.method != "HEAD" && req.method != "PUT" && req.method != "POST" && req.method != "TRACE" && req.method != "OPTIONS" && req.method != "PATCH" && req.method != "DELETE") { /* Non-RFC2616 or CONNECT which is weird. */ return (pass); } # Only cache GET or HEAD requests.
