Caddy is the first and only web server to use HTTPS automatically and by default
I did benchmark it against nginx and found Caddy to be 5-7x times slower, but like all benchmarks go...results are subject to ones requirements (or mistakes).What got me away from using it:- the directives feel intuitive but as soon as I needed a complex config it all became a chain of very implicit strings- the caddy author(s) decided few years ago to add custom http header with their sponsors[0]. That header could not be removed, it's no longer present in current Caddy but the bad taste still remains.[0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15238315
