I have been always found of working with cache to low down load on servers hosting very high traffic websites. Varnish is one of the best web application accelerator which speed up the deliver from 300 – 1000 times comparing to apache. There is a Varnish cpanel cache plugin available by Unixy. I will write review on it as well in few days.
Uptil now, I have been using Varnish or Nginx with cpanel as reverse proxy with manual setup, however a few days before I found a thread on WHT about ApacheBooster, which include Varnish and Nginx both to Boost up apache performance.
Currently ApacheBooster v 1.3 is available which I’m going to use in this post. There are few replies in WHT thread claiming that the plugin is awsom, which leads me to decide to write a post on it.
