Overview
The protocol used to encrypt HTTPS connections.
Definition
The protocol used to encrypt HTTPS connections.
Real-world example
TLS 1.3 encrypts HTTP between the user and Caddy; HTTP/2 multiplexing reduces latency for asset-heavy pages.
Common mistake
Terminating TLS at a CDN while also terminating at Caddy with mismatched SSL modes, causing redirect loops.
Better-PaaS in practice
Caddy negotiates TLS automatically. Ensure Cloudflare or other proxies use "Full (strict)" when orange-clouding DNS.
FAQ
Is TLS only relevant to Better-PaaS?
No. TLS appears across Docker, cloud platforms, and self-hosted tooling. Better-PaaS exposes the concept in deploy logs, dashboard fields, or docs when it affects your app.
