This shouldn't be downvoted--it's very true, what performance are you trying to optimize? Throughput of long connections? Time from connection to first bytes? There are dozens of dimensions to web performance.

That's totally reasonable. Does Caddy actually win on any of those dimensions?

There are millions of configurations for Caddy (which modules you compile into the binary) so this is literally impossible to know unless your benchmark your particular configuration for your particular use case.

I didn't mean my comment to come off as hostile. The way you replied seemed to imply you were involved in some way but didn't make note of that in your comment, sometimes when people don't realize who they're replying to they make bad assumptions, I was trying to prevent that from happening.

This whole thread has a lot of unproductive animosity, and it's possible part of that is due to the opaqueness who the identity of those involved.
