The command "caddy start" is used to start the Caddy web server.

Caddy is a powerful and easy-to-use HTTP/2 web server that comes with automatic HTTPS and a simple configuration language. It is designed to be efficient and secure, providing a straightforward way to host websites.

When you run the "caddy start" command, Caddy starts listening on the configured port(s) and begins serving the specified websites or applications. It reads the Caddyfile, which is a configuration file that defines the server blocks, site configurations, and any additional plugins or middleware.

By running "caddy start," you initiate the Caddy server, allowing it to handle incoming HTTP/HTTPS requests and serve your website or application.
