The reviews

Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.

Helpful?

Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.

Helpful?

Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.
