Varnish is good for caching any object; static or dynamic. The plugin we wrote uses Varnish to do a lot of dynamic page caching. Varnish is better at dynamic page caching than Nginx.
Litespeed has a caching mechanism too (introduced recently). But I think it requires an enterprise licesense of 2+ CPU. Here are some benchmarks of Apache+Varnish vs Litespeed: http://unixy.net/apache-vs-litespeed http://unixy.net/apache-vs-litespeed

- ichilton 16y agoSo would you use Varnish over Nginx as a reverse proxy to Apache? What about an Nginx+FastCGI+PHP-FPM stack? - would you run Varnish in front of that?
