If the content is cachable, it will reduce load.

But deploying varnish requires some experience and knowledge of the
application.
Unless the application is e.g. plain-vanilla wordpress, there are no
out-of-the-box varnish tutorials to help you in your specific situation.

If your content is cachable and you don't require varnish's
cache-invalidation features, you could use nginx's proxy-caching
features.

See the wiki/handbook.
