Reverse HTTP Cache ​

Overview ​

A reverse HTTP cache is a cache server placed before the web shop. If you are not familiar with HTTP caching, please refer to the HTTP cache concept. The reverse http cache needs the following capabilities to function with Shopware fully:

  • Able to differentiate the request with multiple cookies
  • Allow clearing the cache using a web request for a specific site or with / for all pages

INFO

In this guide, we will use Varnish as an example for HTTP cache.

The example Setup with Varnish ​

WARNING

This setup is compatible from Shopware version 6.4.

Configure Shopware ​

First, we need to activate the reverse proxy support in Shopware. To enable it, we need to create a new file in config/packages/storefront.yaml:

yaml
storefront:
    csrf:
        enabled: true
        # The internal Shopware HTTP cache replaces the CSRF token on the fly. This can't be done in reverse proxy. So we use AJAX to get a CSRF token
        mode: ajax
    reverse_proxy:
        enabled: true
        ban_method: "BAN"
        # This needs to point to your varnish hosts
        hosts: [ "http://varnish" ]
        # Max parallel invalidations at same time for a single worker
        max_parallel_invalidations: 3
        # Redis Storage for the HTTP cache tags
        redis_url: "redis://redis"

Also set SHOPWARE_HTTP_CACHE_ENABLED=1 in your .env file.

Trusted proxies ​

For the most part, using Symfony and Varnish doesn't cause any problem. But, when a request passes through a proxy, certain request information is sent using either the standard Forwarded header or X-Forwarded headers. For example, instead of reading the REMOTE_ADDR header (which will now be the IP address of your reverse proxy), the user's true IP will be stored in a standard Forwarded: for="..." header or an X-Forwarded-For header.

If you don't configure Symfony to look for these headers, you will get incorrect information about the client's IP address. Whether or not the client connects via https, the client's port and the hostname are requested.

Go through Proxies section for more information.

Configure Varnish ​

As Shopware is now prepared to work with a reverse proxy, we need to configure Varnish to use a Shopware specific configuration (VCL). Below you can find an example Shopware 6 Varnish configuration.

On hard purge, the cache will be immediately purged and the next requesting user will get a slow response, as the cache has been deleted. On soft purge, the user still gets the cached response after the purge, but in the configured time interval, the cache will be refreshed. This makes sure that the client gets the fastest response possible.

Using Varnish XKey module without Redis ​

Varnish XKey is a cache key module that allows you to use Varnish with surrogate keys. It is a module that is not included in the default Varnish installation. It is available for Varnish 4.1 and 6.0.

The module is available for download on GitHub

WARNING

Disable the verification headers ​

The X-Cache and X-Cache-Hits headers are only meant to verify that Varnish is doing its job. You typically don't want to have those headers enabled in a production environment.

To disable these headers, comment out the lines by prefixing them with the # character. The lines in question are:

txt
# Set a cache header to allow us to inspect the response headers during testing
if (obj.hits > 0) {
    unset resp.http.set-cookie;
    set resp.http.X-Cache = "HIT";
}  else {
    set resp.http.X-Cache = "MISS";
}

set resp.http.X-Cache-Hits = obj.hits;

Make it so that the lines look like the following:

txt
# Set a cache header to allow us to inspect the response headers during testing
if (obj.hits > 0) {
    unset resp.http.set-cookie;
    #set resp.http.X-Cache = "HIT";
}  else {
    #set resp.http.X-Cache = "MISS";
}

#set resp.http.X-Cache-Hits = obj.hits;

Configure Fastly ​

Fastly is supported since Shopware 6.4.11.0 is out-of-the-box with some configurations. To enable it, we need to create a new file in config/packages/storefront.yaml

yaml
storefront:
    csrf:
        enabled: true
        mode: ajax
    reverse_proxy:
        enabled: true
        fastly:
          enabled: true
          api_key: '<personal-token-from-fastly>'
          service_id: '<service-id>'

Fastly soft-purge ​

WARNING

This feature has been introduced with Shopware version 6.4.15.0

By default, the cache will be immediately purged and the next requesting user will get a slow response as the cache has been deleted. On soft purge, the user still gets the cached response after the purge, but in the configured time interval, the cache will be refreshed. This makes sure that the client gets the fastest response possible.

yaml
storefront:
  csrf:
    enabled: true
    mode: ajax
  http_cache:
    # Allow to serve the out-dated cache for 300 seconds
    stale_while_revalidate: 300
    # Allow to serve the out-dated cache for an hour if the origin server is offline
    stale_if_error: 3600
  reverse_proxy:
    enabled: true
  fastly:
      enabled: true
      api_key: '<personal-token-from-fastly>'
      service_id: '<service-id>'
      soft_purge: '1'

Fastly VCL Snippets ​

Additionally, we need to set up some VCL Snippets in the Fastly interface:

vcl_deliver
vcl_fetch
vcl_hash
vcl_hit
vcl_recv
