Reverse Proxy Benefits

Load Balancing

Caching

based on the Cache-Control header config

Global Server Load Balancing

website can be distributed on several servers around the globe and and the reverse proxy will send clients
to the server that’s geographically closest to them. descreases the distances that reqeusts and responses need to travel, minimizing load times

SSL Encryption

Encrypting and decrypting for each client by origin server can be computationally
expensive, so reverse proxy handles this, freeing up the resources on origin server.
