website VS souin

Oh, just saw this. You wrote your comment while I wrote mine. If you can enumerate specifically what you want to see, please submit it to our issue tracker: https://github.com/caddyserver/website

Generally we encourage examples in our community wiki though: https://caddy.community/c/wiki/13 -- much easier to maintain that way.

Yes, the docs have been updated at https://github.com/caddyserver/website but haven't been deployed yet. There is a new protocols option:

    protocols h1 h2

Could you be more specific about these complaints? What examples don't work? We can't work on improving the docs if we don't get specific and actionable feedback. The docs are found at https://github.com/caddyserver/website if you want to propose any changes.

Protip: you can click almost everything in code blocks in the docs. For example, if you click `[]`, it brings you right to the request matcher syntax section, which explains what you can fill in there.

It would be redundant to write on every page what you can use as a matcher. The Caddyfile reference docs assume you've read https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/concepts which walks you through how the Caddyfile is structured, and it'll give you the fundamentals you need to understand the rest of the docs (I think, anyway).

If you think we need more examples for a specific usecase, we can definitely include those. Feel free to propose some changes on https://github.com/caddyserver/website, we could always use the help!

HTTP plugin now support RFC 7234 caching options

It's always been blisteringly fast when we've used it, and I like the power of the configuration (it has its quirks but so do most powerful systems). But the overhead of setting it up and maintaining it due to having to handle TLS termination separately puts me off using it when other software is 'good enough'. If Varnish Enterprise was cheaper I would have bought it, but at their enterprise prices no way.

I'm keeping a watching brief on https://github.com/darkweak/souin and its Caddy integration to see if that can step up and replace Varnish for short-lived dynamic caching of web applications. Though I've lost track of its current status.

Centminmod (need lots of tweaks) or OpenLiteSpeed are consider more performant than default Nginx and Caddy, but I wish if someone can prove there is a better one out there or I just saw Souin HTTP cache (https://github.com/darkweak/souin) when I was reading Echo web framework for Go. Yet to experiment if there is a benefits unless it's insignificant.
