Thanks for sharing your benchmarks. In the past I’ve done some Nginx vs Caddy benchmarks and noticed as you add more response headers to requests, Caddy’s performance drops more than Nginx does (see links below). As as I’ve been always mindful to test with real world used response headers/equivalent for both web servers.

- [Any performance overhead as you add more headers under HTTP/2? - Help - Caddy Community](https://caddy.community/t/any-performance-overhead-as-you-add-more-headers-under-http-2/403)
- [GitHub - centminmod/centminmod-caddy-v2](https://github.com/centminmod/centminmod-caddy-v2)

So I’m curious if in your proxy testing for latest Caddy versions, does the same performance overhead happen with Caddy still exist as you add more response headers?

Looking forward to more of your tests in future 🙂
