Run Varnish Cache alongside W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache.

Like any other website, significant traffic to a WordPress site can result in poor performance and slow load speeds.

While there are suitable internal caching solutions, such as W3 Total Cache and WP Super Cache, implementation of an advanced caching solution like Section provides significant return.

Implement Section’s instance of Varnish Cache alongside your internal caching plugin and experience even greater performance boosts.

Setting Up Advanced Caching

Use Varnish Cache Control Language (or VCL) to configure the cache settings. When you make changes to the VCL and deploy Section, your changes will instantly be distributed to all of Section’s globally distributed nodes.

With advanced caching options, you can set up Section to provide a unique caching platform for your web application and test it in your local development and test environments before pushing to production.
