Thanks for your feedback! That's great to know. The startup times were recently improved in collaboration with one of our corporate sponsors, Fathom Analytics.
The remaining duration is likely due to the speed of the storage backend and/or CPU, but I'd need to see a profile to know with more certainty. 8000 certificates is a lot of decoding/encoding and crypto operations. Caddy can handle it, but the hardware has to be up to snuff too. Post in our forum and we can look for ways to optimize it even more once we know where the bottleneck is.
