Varnish Already introduced SSL

We will be analyzing options in this sprint.

Guys, please also cast your votes here:
"Have a proper caching solution for dynamic sites under SSL to load fast (woocommerce, etc)"

http://feedback.cloudways.com/forums/203824-service-improvement/suggestions/12420951-have-a-proper-caching-solution-for-dynamic-sites-u

Varnish does not handle https requests. Object caching is not possible with Cloudways for pages under SSL.

This means any dynamic site (using woocommerce, buddypress, etc.) is slow and sluggish for visitors.

Whole site SSL is no longer an option but a must for both better google search ranking and visitors' trust. Same goes for site performance and load speed.

If Cloudways is serious about performance, you guys should come up with a solution to get whole site under SSL to have proper caching and load fast.

I used to find Cloudways great, until I discovered this. Having to choose between either SSL or caching/performance is a deal breaker to me. For now the only option left is to find alternatives to Cloudways.

in this https era, this feature is seriously needed or provide any other alternatives for varnish cache to works with https enabled sites.

Any update on this?

Will this be implemented? Is there any news on this? This is the only thing that's holding me back from signing up :(

This is extremely important for e-commerce operations with Magento 2.

Please deploy this functionality.

Any follow up on this?

This would be awesome!

After all the marketing concerning woocommerce speed on cloudways, I finally discover that doesn't apply to full SSL sites. Not sure why but this wasn't publically communicated.
Who doesn't run a shop in full SSL?

Most business websites now requires to run in full SSL even if they offload the payments.
Not having the possibility of using varnish is big drop in term of performance.

There are few workaround for enabling varnish with a full SSL site, especially if Nginx is fronting Apache. The links provided are the perfect illustration that this can be done with the current stack and some configuration adjustments.

Not having the same performance with a full SSL site, is a big lack especially when the SSL is being pushed everywhere!

As the web becomes more secure (as it should), we are going to see more sites moving to site-wide ssl. I have and it's disappointing that I'm not going to be able to take advantage of the varnish caching... Please implement suggestions above!
