They make it quite hard to find out, but here it is:

> Caddy obtains certificates for you automatically using Let's Encrypt.

Not sure why that is not stated front and centre. It's a good idea.

No, it's not. It doesn't explain how it works, which makes it come across as an empty marketing promise.

Should've at least said "easily".

Just looks like it's capable of doing that which doesn't take much attention.
