The TLDR is that Nginx offers about x2 more throughput than Caddy.

The benchmark is apparently a bit flawed[1]. I'd take the results with a grain of salt.

There's not much substance in the reply there, on one part there's this argument:

Which of course is an appeal to authority. Overall, it's pretty well known that a GC language will have downsides in perf when compared to system programming languages.
