About

Varnish Cache is an open-source web application accelerator, also known as a caching HTTP reverse proxy.

WP Rocket is a caching and performance optimization plugin that improves the loading speed of WordPress websites.

It implements several caching layers such as page caching (static HTML), mobile caching (a separate set of cache files for mobile devices), and browser caching (for repeated visits) with automatic preload, Gzip compression, minification of CSS/JS/HTML, lazy loading of images and iframes, CDN integration, and control over the WordPress Heartbeat API.
