It is perfect if you need a lightweight and easy-to-use reverse proxy and/or web server for a small project, but if you need max performance with lowest possible latency you should replace Caddy with Nginx
Caddy is ready to serve your site in 1 second, it has flexible configuration options, HTTPS, hot reload and lots of plugins to extend server configuration. Why should you look for something else?
