Certain parts of this article read like an advertisement:

  • "One of Caddy's most notable features is enabling HTTPS by default."
  • "Since then it has been advanced by over two hundred other developers, adding for example support for QUIC."
  • "Caddy is not vulnerable to a number of widespread CVEs including Heartbleed, DROWN, POODLE, and BEAST. In addition, Caddy uses TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV to prevent protocol downgrade attacks."
  • "Caddy has also been used by Cloudflare as a platform to serve an experimental TLS 1.3 implementation."

I'm not arguing these are not notable (although I think not being vulnerable to these CVEs is just an expectation of normal web server software...). However, the tone here is not encyclopedic, and frankly smell of COI editing. Until these are rectified I'm re-adding the advert template. Soapwort (talk) 09:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

I took the liberty of rewriting the article to remove the ad smell and add more factual substance. I also added many more secondary sources. M. (talk) 22:55, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

"Apple Silicon" is not an architecture.

I noticed a line in the article:

> on a variety of architectures including x86-64, ARM, MIPS, S390X, Apple Silicon, and PPC64

Apple Silicon is not an architecture, in the same way "Snapdragon" is not an architecture, or "Ryzen" is not an architecture. Would anyone have any issues with removing this, as the same line does mention ARM support.

COI tag (May 2023)

Looks to have been written by major contributors to Caddy, which may have financial interest in doing so due to paid services provided by the company behind the software. —moonythedwarf 21:47, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
