Varnish Cache Warmer Magento2 module by Lizard Media
Magento2 Varnish Cache Warmer
Magento2 module for handling Varnish Cache cleaning and regenerating using admin panel
and CLI. It uses multiple process to run the commands to minimize the time required
to run.

Installing
Download the module
Using composer (suggested)
Simply run
composer require lizardmedia/module-varnish-warmer
Downloading ZIP
Download a ZIP version of the module and unpack it into your project into
app/code/LizardMedia/VarnishWarmer
If you use ZIP file you will need to install the dependencies of the module
manually
composer require react/http-client:^0.5.9
Install the module
Run this command
bin/magento module:enable LizardMedia_VarnishWarmer
bin/magento setup:upgrade
Usage
Admin panel
The commands can be run in backround from admin panel using Lizard Media Varnish Warmer
menu tab.
CLI
The commands can be run using Magento built-in CLI:
lm-varnish:cache-purge-homepage- purges and regenerates homepagelm-varnish:cache-purge-general- purges and regenerates homepage and categorieslm-varnish:cache-purge-wildcard- purges * and regenerates homepage, categories and productslm-varnish:cache-purge-all- purges and regenerates homepage, categories and productslm-varnish:cache-purge-force- purges * without regenerating. Omits lock checklm-varnish:cache-purge-products- purges and regenerates productslm-varnish:cache-refresh-url- purges and regenerates single URL given as argument
Command options
- store - sets store view ID to get a correct base URL, e.g.
php bin/magento lm-varnish:cache-refresh-url "*" --store=1
For developers
The number of process used for purging and regenerating Varnish cache can be customized
in the admin panel. The max number of processes is specified in
LizardMedia\VarnishWarmer\Model\Config\GeneralConfigProvider
If you have a powerful server you can modify those numbers to use more resources.

Compatibility
Each Magento release line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compilation + static-content deploy) and its unit and integration suites are run. The matrix shows the lines and PHP versions the module is confirmed to install and run on. Code-quality results further down (phpstan, phpcs, …) are reported separately and never affect compatibility.
| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | not tested | not tested | ||
| 2.4.8 | not tested | not tested | ||
| 2.4.9 | not tested | not tested |
Code Quality
Advisory checks against the module's source. Static analysis runs once across the whole module; PHPStan re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases. These NEVER affect the Compatibility badge. A phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible.
Static analysis
Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module.
| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPCS | Fail | 82 | 3 errors, 79 warnings (ruleset: Magento2) — 77 auto-fixable with phpcbf |
| PHPMD | Warning | 2 | 2 rule violations (EmptyCatchBlock:1, ExcessiveClassComplexity:1) |
| Cpd | Pass | 0 | |
| Composer validate | Info | 6 | valid; 6 advisory notes (composer validate --strict) |
PHPStan
Type-checks the module's PHP against a real Magento install at the configured gate level. Re-runs per Magento and PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases.
Tests
Unit and integration suites, run for each applicable Magento and PHP version. A test failure speaks to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a Magento line, so it is reported here separately and never reddens the compatibility matrix.
Unit tests
| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | ||
| 2.4.8 | N/A | N/A | ||
| 2.4.9 | N/A | N/A |
Integration tests
| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | ||
| 2.4.8 | N/A | N/A | ||
| 2.4.9 | N/A | N/A |
Security
Security checks run directly against the module: an audit of its declared dependencies for known vulnerabilities (composer audit) and a scan of its source for malware and web-shell signatures. Each runs once. A malware detection fails the version outright.
Turn an existing module into recurring revenue.
If you already maintain a Magento 2 module on GitHub or GitLab, listing it on Packagento takes about five minutes. We mirror your tags, handle distribution signing, and route paid licenses through Stripe Connect, so you can keep shipping the way you already do.
