Magento users love fast websites.

By default, Varnish support is now included in Magento 2. In Magento 1, we commonly used Turpentine by Nexcess (https://github.com/nexcess/magento-turpentine). The configuration of Varnish is not for the faint-hearted. Varnish includes a Varnish Configuration Language (VCL) file, which holds all the elements to be cached or not.

Setting up a Varnish server may be simple; configuring the VCL is not. Magento 2 provides a default VCL file that works out of the box, but be aware of any custom extensions or layout updates. Any customization has to be added manually in the VCL file before Varnish can cache...

Ray Bergman is an IT professional and Magento evangelist from the Netherlands. He started working with computers in 1983, as a hobby at first. In the past, he has worked for KPN, a large Dutch Telecom company, as a senior security officer. He has been the CTO of Wild Hibiscus, Netherlands, since 2010, and co-founder and business creator of Yireo until 2011. Jira ICT since 2005, and CTO of SupportDesk B.V, which he co-founded in 2011. At SupportDesk B.V, he is a Magento, Joomla, OroCRM, Web / Server / Mobile Performance specialist, and Security evangelist. His focus during the day is business/product development and training webmasters and consultants about the power of Magento, from the basics up to an advanced level. He has trained over 1000 Magento and 750 Joomla experts worldwide since 2005. During Magento events like Magento Developers Paradise, Meet Magento and Magento Live he is regular speakers since 2009. He has participated in reviewing Mastering Magento (2012), Mastering Magento (2013) the video, Mastering Magento Theme Design (2014), Magento Administration Guide (2014) and Learning Magento Theme Development (2014). The writing of this book was a big thing for me. I spend every free minute with passion in writing this. I had many doubts and thoughts as a dyslexic person to overcome this big challenge. But I never thought that writing this would give me lots of self-esteem, peace and joy. This would not have happened without the loving support and patient of my wife Mette and daughter Belize. Joining forces with my co-writing Vladimir was a lot of fun. Sharing thoughts and inside about our Magento passion was great. Last, but not least, I would like to thank all the people who made this writing possible.
