My Varnish VCL for WordPress

April 5th, 2009

On Varnish’s official website, there is a WordPress optimization guide For The Impatient: Preparing Varnish/Wordpress for a Slashdotting in 60 seconds or less….

The problem is that it removes cookie too aggressively. All non admin page will be virtually static. So I made my own vcl to remove cookies for only static files.

Here it is

backend default {
.host = "10.25.0.1";
.port = "80";
}
 
sub vcl_recv {
# Normalize Content-Encoding
    if (req.http.Accept-Encoding) {
        if (req.url ~ "\.(jpg|png|gif|gz|tgz|bz2|lzma|tbz)(\?.*|)$") {
            remove req.http.Accept-Encoding;
        } elsif (req.http.Accept-Encoding ~ "gzip") {
            set req.http.Accept-Encoding = "gzip";
        } elsif (req.http.Accept-Encoding ~ "deflate") {
            set req.http.Accept-Encoding = "deflate";
        } else {
            remove req.http.Accept-Encoding;
        }
    }
# Remove cookies and query string for real static files
    if (req.url ~ "^/[^?]+\.(jpeg|jpg|png|gif|ico|js|css|txt|gz|zip|lzma|bz2|tgz|tbz|html|htm)(\?.*|)$") {
       unset req.http.cookie;
       set req.url = regsub(req.url, "\?.*$", "");
    }
# Remove cookies from front page
    if (req.url ~ "^/$") {
       unset req.http.cookie;
    }
}
sub vcl_fetch {
        if (req.url ~ "^/$") {
                unset obj.http.set-cookie;
        }
}

So all interactive pages will be sent to php backend with correct cookies. All static files and front page will be served by varnish proxy.
