也許你還在為剛才動態內容獲得7336.76 reqs/s的吞吐率感到振奮，等等，理想和現實是有差距的，你要忍受現實的殘酷，別忘了，我們壓力測試中的動態內容都處於全緩存情況下，也就是每次請求都命中緩存，這在現實中往往是不可能的。
首先，緩存區空間大小是有限的，而我們的站點可能有大量的內容需要被緩存，而不像前邊壓力測試時只有一個內容。一旦緩存區被裝滿，那麼緩存管理器便會淘汰一些它認為不再需要的緩存內容，比如通過LRU（最近最少使用算法）將使用頻率較低的緩存內容淘汰出去，但是，這裡判斷“不常使用”的標准是不嚴格的，也許被淘汰的內容就是你將要訪問的下一個內容，這便影響了它的命中率。
其次，緩存的過期時間也影響到它的命中率，假如有效期很短，為10秒，那麼最少10秒便會有一次無法命中。
還有，有些內容可能根本沒有被代理服務器緩存，比如這些內容包含了set-cookie等不可緩存的HTTP頭信息，導致反向代理不會緩存它們，並且在浏覽器請求它們的時候也不會去緩存區查找。這是影響命中率的一個重要因素，但往往被我們所忽略。
幸運的是，這些問題我們都可以輕松的解決，前提是，我們需要了解反向代理緩存的實時工作狀態，比如Varnish便提供了一個命令行的狀態監控程序varnishstat，我們打開它，便看到了當前時刻的狀態，如下：
