That's just saying Caddy _can_ be faster, it's not saying Caddy _is always_ faster. That was never claimed.

> when I just wanted to know how Caddy compares to nginx in the most broad terms

But that's impossible. There's no way to "generally" benchmark a web server. There's just way too many ways it can be used for any single benchmark to ever be valid.

Do your own benchmarks, for _your_ usecase. That's the only way you'll get any kind of real answer.

Yes, I'm a maintainer. What's your point?

One thing would be indicating that you are a maintainer in your comment, when it's not immediately obvious, so that readers are able to understand your comment in a proper context. Like I will do at the bottom of my comment:

Disclosure: Not a Caddy user. Turned off from it by the maintainers shamelessly plugging Caddy as the best thing since sliced bread whenever a competitor is mentioned somewhere. I'm also a community contributor to HAProxy which might or might not be considered a competitor.
