It looks like you're testing with MageSpeedTest? Based on the results you're probably running into latency from the US West site + the low concurrency limit for free users. For instance, compare our sip400-demo site with 20 users and 100 users.
In other words, it's not an issue with your site's speed, just a limit of what the benchmark tool can show you.
ok, so mines are 20 trans/sec while u get 36, almost double. it can be latency, but i do not think "that" much.
can varnish daemon configuration (or missconfiguration) influence on the speed test? mine it's like this right now:
DAEMON_OPTS="-a :80 \ -T 127.0.0.1:6082 \ -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl \ -S /etc/varnish/secret \ -p cli_buffer=16384 -p thread_pools=2 -p thread_pool_min=100 -p thread_pool_max=1000 -p thread_pool_add_delay=2 -p cli_timeout=20 -p session_linger=100 -s file,/var/lib/varnish/$INSTANCE/varnish_storage.bin,2G"
since i'm testing this on a 1gb ram vps (on purpose) i can not allocate varnish to run in "smalloc"
any other suggesting to better tune my system?
thx Simone
Everything I've read about "tuning" Varnish basically said to not do it, the defaults are fine for 99% of sites. I really think the latency is the issue since your site looks to be hosted in Italy. Can you look in your webserver logs and find the IP of the MageSpeedTest server that did the test and try pinging it from your server to see what kind of latency you're getting?
ok, reverted to stoc varnish config, and allocated memory usage (-s malloc,256m) ping to magespeed server it's not responding, but traceing shows 165ms delay

not so bad i gues. but now magespeedtest.com it's down (error 500) so i'll wait and then run again a speed test
thank you Simone
reverting back to stock varnish settings: it's even slower :(

see? now, with varnish on it's just like without it..
this is header respons:

Out of curiosity I've just come across magespeedtest.com - for how many seconds did you run the test for?
i've had the free account, so 45 second and 30 users now i have the premium account, will run several tests and post it.
one thing i know isa that NOT always (as it seems for me) varnish is hitting, i sometime need to do a full cicle of remove cache, refresh cache, restart varnish/nginx/php5-fpm..before getting any good results
does anybody utilize varnish + nginx and can help me with a good nginx reverse proxy config?
thank you Simone
ok just run a test over my url, with magespeedtest.com
results (very poor) : http://www.magespeedtest.com/results?key=9dc0eb5c-0338-4f8f-aa53-f7b2434fd64a

http://www.isvarnishworking.com/ is sayng:
Varnish appears to be responding at that url, but the "Age" header is less than 1.
This means that either, 1) you checked right when Varnish cleared it's cache for that url, or 2) for whatever reason Varnish is not actually serving the content for that url from cache.
If it is the former, just check again and see if you get a more solid confirmation.
If it is the latter, perhaps one of the following is happening:
That url is excluded from the cache on purpose in the Varnish vcl file (in which case, yay! It's working.)
The application is sending cache headers that are telling Varnish not to serve that content from cache. This means you'll have to fix the cache headers the application is sending to Varnish. A lot of the time those headers are Cache-Control and/or Expires.
The application is setting a session cookie, which can prevent Varnish from serving content from cache. This means you'll have to update the application and make it not send a session cookie for anonymous traffic.
Internet Ghosts.
please help :)
It looks like Varnish is running with the default VCL (which doesn't cache anything from Magento) instead of the Turpentine-generated VCL, you need to hit the Apply Varnish Config button in the Magento admin under System > Cache Management after restarting Varnish if you don't replace Varnish's startup VCL (/etc/varnish/default.vcl
) with the Turpentine-generated VCL.
EDIT: Also, just so you know, once Turpentine has applied its VCL, unless Turpentine's debugging is turned on the isvarnishworking.com site won't give accurate results as Varnish will remove the "fingerprints" that that site is looking for.
debug it's alwasy on :) so, when i hit save settings, i just "save" the new vcl, but it does not apply on the fly the vcl to the deamon? Becouse each time i get:
VCL successfully applied to: 127.0.0.1:6082
The VCL file has been saved.
The configuration has been saved.
should i press also "apply varnish config" under cache management?
thank you 4 ur time
so, when i hit save settings, i just "save" the new vcl, but it does not apply on the fly the vcl to the deamon?
If you hit the Save Settings button while under System > Configuration on either the Varnish Options or Caching Options tabs, then the VCL will be generated and saved to $PATH_TO_MAGENTO/var/default.vcl
. If the Apply VCL On Config Change option is enabled (which it is by default), then hitting the Save Settings button will also apply the generated config to the running Varnish instance(s).
The Save Varnish Config and Apply Varnish Config buttons under System > Cache Management allow you to do the corresponding actions manually so you don't generally need to use them if you hit the Save Settings button.
well then in my case there is a "bug" that prevent from applyng vcl to running deamon...mybe
WOW!!!
http://www.magespeedtest.com/results?key=7f0054f6-ba0f-4a7f-b16b-c67d20e74ec4
i've copied /var/default.vcl --> /etc/varnish/default.vcl (made a bck copy of the original vcl) manually then restarted nginx & varnish and BOOM
ok, think i've found the problem: it's memcache! i have a local.xml with both fast and slow backend, 2 cache levels.
although i was flushing cache, "something" was still there...so i have enabled only APC as cache backend, flush cache, flush storage cache (most important), restared everything and reapplyed vcl.
..working like a charm
Glad you got it working.
Hi first let me thank you for your effort to mantain this extension free/opensource.
I have a test environment http://37.247.54.101/ with magento 1.7.0.2 fresh and clean install.
environment 1 (test was run with 30 users for 45 seconds) magespeedtest.com : 11 trans/sec - 1.5 sec each debian 7 nginx php5-fpm apc redis modified local.xml
environment 2 (test was run with 30 users for 45 seconds) magespeedtest.com : 20 trans/sec - 0.8 sec each debian 7 nginx php5-fpm apc redis varnish 3.0 modified local.xml turpentine varnish cache
it seems not so much difference. can it be possibile? this is one of my first varnish installation, maybe it's me.
can i paste here some of my config files? what do you prefer..nginx, varnish..localxml..
thank you for your time Simone
