In a previous\u00a0blog post<\/a>, we briefly discussed the release of LiteMage 2<\/a> for Magento 2 and its improvements over Varnish and Magento 2\u2019s built-in PageCache module. Today, I’d like to elaborate on a few of those improvements.<\/p>\n

Simplifying Your Stack<\/strong>
\n\"\"
\nThe above diagram is a comparison of the basic setup for Magento using Nginx + Varnish and LiteSpeed Web Server (LSWS) + LiteMage Cache. You can clearly see that with just the basics on both sides, your Magento stack’s complexity is halved when you switch from Nginx + Varnish to LSWS + LiteMage. As is also mentioned above, flush instructions cause extra overhead by design in Nginx + Varnish while LSWS + LiteMage include the flush instruction in the same response header, meaning no extra cost when flushing the cache.<\/p>\n

Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve received a very positive response to LiteMage 2. This is, in part, because LiteMage 2 completely replaces Varnish, supports the same configuration for publicly cached items, and improves on Varnish’s performance.<\/p>\n

LiteSpeed + LiteMage outperforms Nginx + Varnish:<\/p>\n
