   There's a lot more to "ultimate" than just performance. It's a cross of many dimensions.

   Not everything needs to be read as a comparison to other products. Adjectives have meaning without competition. They can be interpreted as ratios, for example requests / available memory, or load / latency. It's not always ab

   Yeah, sorry. Been so focused on dev that sometimes parts of the website get left behind.

   I'm excited for that cache module.

   Sorry, don't mean to be condescending or dismissive. Just trying to get stuff done. To do that, I'll need that information.

   Hmm, so you're hung up on all things we've fixed with Caddy v2 years ago. I recommend giving it a try again with a fresh mindset. It's a totally different product.

    Yes, this is very common if I understand you correctly. You want the remote_ip matcher: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/matchers#remote-ip

    Neat use case! First I've heard of it. Can you tell me more about the museums?

    Yeah, it's hard for us to hit a performance target that is being kept hidden from the devs.

    NGINX requires external tooling (e.g. certbot), Caddy's auto-HTTPS is built-in. Caddy's auto-HTTPS logic is much smarter and more robust than certbot or any other ACME client. In general, Caddy sites stay up when other sites will

    We aren't "hiding" any performance stats. They just don't exist. It's super hard to generate them in a way that applies perfectly to everyone's use case. I'm still waiting to hear your performance requirem

    It's hard to quantify web server performance in a way that is both truly representative and truly generalizable, such that you can draw correct conclusions for specific setups and use cases. Ultimately we just recommend you do your own

    Thanks for the feedback. > when your biggest selling point is how neat the configuration is to write To clarify, neat/easy configuration isn't our biggest selling point in v2. Flexible configuration is (one of them, anyway).

    Memory safety is a spectrum, and Go is much higher on that spectrum than C/C++.

    I've been driving my car several times during the outage today with no problems. 99+% of unlocks don't require connectivity, unless you're always unlocking the car for someone else who doesn't have a key...? In general:

    Thank you. Could definitely use more sponsorships, particularly from companies. I'm also open to ideas on how to make sponsorships more attractive to those who are considering it! (Without taking away too much from dev time, if possibl

    Ah yeah, that's why in Caddy 2 while we do emit full details from HTTP requests in our structured JSON logs, you have the ability to traverse into each log message and replace or delete data within it: https://caddyserver.co

    Yeah; and unlike nginx and Apache, Caddy has a higher degree of memory safety, so it's impervious to a whole class of vulnerabilities.
