I don't many threads regarding optimisation using Varnish.
From my side I developped a VCL only to cache static elements, a FastCGI Cache on NGINX to speedup page generation but that's all. I disabled JCH Optimize (even 9), deleted SpeedCache, and so on.
Using Varnish with static elements, a 2Gb FastCGI cache and dedicated server is giving better results than JCH or SpeedCache, and best of all is generating a new page content for each request.
But I know well there's a better approach, but I was unable to integrate it even spending hours with efforts on...
This is caching all pages generated from FastCGI and keeping them into Varnish cache.
The problem is clear: JOOMLA is generating a cookie even for visitor ... and that's the problem because each same static page is seen as a new request, not cached....
Guyz, anybody tried and success to cache HTML pages from FastCGI to Varnish?
What's the best approach (due to cookies?) ! Please share you toughts, ideads, code, whatever!
Thx
NB: I know before Joomla5 there was no such cookie. so not so complicated. I don't want to change the core Joomla, just to find a clear and professional approach to solve this link btw Varnish & Joomla 5
