Do you really ned Varnish with CloudFlare?

As title. I'm curious if I really need it or not.

Thanks!

  • Could be useful. That's why we have L1, L2 cache right?

  • Depends.

    Serve your cached content off a subdomain, and everything else with cf -- if you want to really 'put it to use'.

  • Yes! Cloudflare caches only static files. i.e. jpg's, png's, etc. etc. However they do not cache the page itself. As such varnish would be a benefit.

    Thanks :)

  • Honestly, everything helps.

  • i use CF only for hide my vps ip and cache img only

  • You could CF cache pages too but their Browser cache TTL minimum is too high (30 min)

    cf -> varnish -> apache/nginx = more work and more memory used

    cf -> apache/nginx = more efficient

  • nginx+memcache+php+varnish works good for me. plus CF, double protection for syn+ack attack
