5 Must See WordPress Plugin for Varnish

Varnish Cache is a reverse proxy and HTTP accelerator that can speed up requests and make your site more responsive. It works by caching both GET and POST requests and revalidating with the backend when cache expires. It also handles load balancing across multiple servers. Thanks to these Varnish WordPress plugins, you will be able to better manage it:

Varnish/NGINX Proxy Caching: this plugin supports an unlimited number of Varnish cache servers. It lets you customize catch TTL for each page. It uses custom headers and won’t interfere with other caching solutions.
