Nginx is event-driven, asynchronous, non-blocking and single threaded (one master process + worker processes). This allows nginx to be manage resources more efficiently compared to thread-based models (like Apache).

In the free version, Caddy includes an Caddy-Sponsors header in all HTTP response for crediting their sponsors. This header cannot be removed, and is required as per the non-commercial EULA.
Lighttpd is event-driven, asynchronous, non-blocking and single threaded. This allows lighttpd to be manage resources more efficiently compared to thread-based models (like Apache).
