Varnish Cache & Ad Impressions

[Ayberk Kimsesiz]

Hi,

We are using the default.vcl file as follows. Our website is getting higher
traffic each day but there is a decline in ads' impression values. We are
using .js in ad codes. Do you think the following settings might be the
problem?

/* SET THE HOST AND PORT OF WORDPRESS
 * *********************************************************/
vcl 4.0;
import std;

backend default {
  .host = "********";
  .port = "8080";
  .connect_timeout = 600s;
  .first_byte_timeout = 600s;
  .between_bytes_timeout = 600s;
  .max_connections = 800;
    }
