It is designed to speed up websites and reduce the load on web servers by caching frequently accessed web pages and serving them directly to users without having to generate them dynamically each time they are requested.

It also supports dynamic content and can be used to implement load balancing, content filtering, and other advanced features. Varnish is known for its high performance and scalability, and it is widely used by websites with high traffic volumes such as news sites, social media platforms, and e-commerce sites. It is also used by many content delivery networks (CDNs) to improve the speed and efficiency of content delivery.
