Curious if any of the MDD hosting community has used varnish to sit between your apache/lutes we'd and your end users?

How about in comparison to litespeed cache?

Came across this thread suggesting litespeed cache is significantly faster than using varnish

Anyone on Mdd using litespeed cache?

LiteSpeed cache has to be enabled per-script or site and isn't something we have enabled. It's required to use a 2 CPU license to use the caching feature and we operate using 1 CPU licenses. Now don't misunderstand and think that if you have 8 cores you need an 8-CPU license. The only thing having an 8 CPU license over a 1 CPU license does is gives you 7 additional threads for serving static content.

Our servers have no issues serving static content, so we've not seen a need to go with the higher CPU licenses.

Varnish can make Apache quite fast, this is true, but we don't run Apache
