Performance?

My guess is that a massive majority of websites will never notice any performance difference.

Its noticeable whether you need 1 server or 3 servers for the same workload.

It's quite rare that your webserver will be the bottleneck at this point. Your app will be the bottleneck much more often.

I don't think the difference in performance between Nginx and Caddy would mean you need 3 servers versus 1 of the same spec. But of course, you need to run your own benchmarks on your own config to determine which is best _for you_.

Benchmarks cannot be done generally, because the config drives so much of what happens at runtime, and everyone has different needs.
