You provide very little information, and you don't seem to have made any
attempt to troubleshoot the problem yourself.  All I can say is that
from the looks of the HTTP headers I get from your site, Varnish seems
to cache most of it for 120 seconds.  I have no idea what you used
before Varnish, nor how it was configured, so I can't tell if that's an
improvement.
