Optimizing a server running Wordpress

Show all headers | View raw

Hey guys,

I’m working on a website for my company (it’s a small Free Software 
company in France, mainly catering to visually-impaired computer users), 
and I need some help setting up a Varnish server and tweaking it to get 
along with Wordpress. (On a Debian VPS with Apache.)

I have very little experience with reverse proxies and caching, so this 
is getting a little too involved for me; from what I gather apart from 
getting it to work at all (which I haven’t even managed so far), there 
are some further optimizations required (for example, you don’t want 
to cache backoffice pages, and if you’re using any analytics tools 
then you need additional fine-tuning to make them play well with Varnish).

That being said, I’m hoping that would bring a noticeable performance 
gain with regard to PageSpeed and other indicators (therefore, more SEO 
ranking bonanza), which at the moment remain disappointingly average in 
spite of our best efforts (server-side compression, CSS and JS inlining, 
SVG images, as little Wordpress plugins and overrides as possible)…

Would anyone be available for consulting with us (yours truly and my 
company’s other tech guys) for a little while? (I’m thinking half a 
day, a day or two tops.) We’d be happy to hire a fellow Debian power 
user provided you’re familiar enough with both Wordpress and Varnish 
(not to mention Apache, but the less said about it the better

Best Regards,
