OT, Another benchmarks showing Caddy not performing on par with Nginx. And the difference aren't so either, roughly 2.5x in small asset serving at nearly 3x latency. On normal 100KB static files it is 20% less throughput but most importantly nearly double the latency.

Unfortunately, Caddy seems to take less concern on this.

Zeroserve already beats Nginx in performance. Hopefully someday it would catch up to Caddy's features.

Well there's less concern because of how no one cares about latency these days.

You don't serve up a bazillion js files and care about latency. You also don't serve up files from all over the web (fonts from google, jquery or whatever from their site) unless you don't care about having control over your own latency.

A static HTML page renders in under 20ms for me these days, if the site is near. Some of these pages with immense blather of js take > 10 seconds to fully download and render. So... in that world, who cares if it's 5 seconds or 6 seconds?
