Jorge, 

Thank you for all of your work on this; the graph from Pingdom below shows the very significant decrease in home page load times. 

With best regards, 
Mark

> Hello,
> I think this is the last email about this topic! As HTTPS is the industry
> standard, we have added NGINX on front to only leverage the SSL communication,
> while remaining all Varnish power behind, so if you go today to whatever Wiki
> page in our Tech Center you will see it with HTTPS, served by varnish cache, if
> you try HTTP you will be safely redirected to HTTPS.

> We also did changed the look and feel of the console outputs, so when you will
> read articles you will know for certain when is a console command to
> copy-paste.

> We hope you enjoy it!!

> A blog post will be out soon about this as well.

> Hi guys,
> A quick heads up. The DNS change for the wiki have been done, you can flush your
> DNS cache and you will notice it, or it will be automatically appear soon.

> Remember, you can still navigate using HTTPS, but I will recommend use HTTP to
> leverage the full power of varnish, User Login and Register, and wiki edits,
> will remain as HTTPS so you will be safe while performing those changes.

> All bookmarks and so you had will still working. You will notice you are on the
> new Wiki if the copyright at the bottom it says 2017.

> Please give me your feedback!

> Hello,
> For months we've been struggling with issues on our Mediawiki instance, but I've
> been working this week on a new instance with varnish on front, updated
> mediawiki version and increased font size for readability (we had some concerns
> about it)

> Attached how it looks like, but also, please I encourage you to change your
> /etc/hosts or hosts file in Windows to point to:
> 52.206.229.23 wiki.zimbra.com

> One of the first things you might notice is that it's HTTP by default, and like
> said, using varnish to reduce the workload we need to use HTTP. For User Login
> or User register will redirec to to HTTPS, and keep that way for all edits, etc
> on the pages.

> If you want to can use HTTPS too manually, but that will go through apache and
> you will lose all the benefits of the varnish caching.

> I just wanted to give you this heads up before COMMIT.

> We are performing some stress tests with thousands and thousands of requests
> with couple hundred concurrent users, and we will be ready to go by this week.

> Best regards
