Varnish Cache
- 26 Apr 2018
Varnish Cache is a web application accelerator also known as a caching HTTP reverse proxy. It is installed in front of any server that speaks HTTP and configured to cache the contents. The user puts in a request which first goes to the Varnish server and if no cache exists would pass straight though to the end server. If cache is held in Varnish memory the page is delivered substantially faster than having the server process everything again on disk. Varnish is a magnitude faster than relying on only Magento’s cache alone.

Web Application Firewall
- 29 Mar 2018
Security, security, security.
As covered in our recent blog online security is more important than ever. When running a bricks and mortar shop you would know to never leave the shop unattended, to lock the door and drop the shutters on a night and set the alarm. Online shops are the same and although the various forms of security are different (patches, firewalls) they have the same purpose, to protect your business. One of the more advanced means of securing your website is a Web Application Firewall (WAF). This is a solution whose function is to monitor, filter and if necessary, block, any HTTP/HTTPS traffic to and from the end users server. Essentially your firewall prevents non-HTTP/HTTPS attacks while the WAF would also prevent malicious or unwanted HTTP/HTTPs data allowing only safe traffic through to your server.
