Well yeah, NGINX is a highly optimized C application, whereas Caddy is written in Go, so it would be unfair to expect NGINX-level performance. Caddy is more modern and has more helpful features (that are easier to implement thanks to Go), but performance-wise... OTOH, if you use NGINX to serve a PHP or Node app, Caddy serving a Go app should be competitive ;)

It’s definitely fair to expect performance to be within one order of magnitude. 4 is really unreasonable.

[polski-g]

4x worse performance is within one order of magnitude. An order of magnitude would be 10x worse.

[rcme]

That’s only if you’re using base 10. Base 2 is a perfectly acceptable order of magnitude.

[digitalPhonix]

Then it would still be only 2 orders of magnitude, not 4

Do not feed the troll.
