About

LiteSpeed Cache is a server-side caching solution designed specifically for LiteSpeed web servers, available as a plugin for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento, Shopware, etc.

Varnish Cache is an open-source HTTP accelerator and reverse caching proxy that caches content from web servers to reduce load times, and supports native TLS termination and Kubernetes deployments.

It uses the VCL configuration language compiled to native C code, serves cached responses in three system calls, provides official container images and a Helm chart for Kubernetes, outputs structured JSON logs, and supports VMOD extension modules.
