Squid is a proxy. Its purpose is to supply a good up to date working copy
of each and every page. Things are already stored as long as possible to
achieve this. The refresh_pattern can be set to extend storage times for
some things. However there are groups of objects which are not storable and
objects which change frequently. Playing around with these will more often
than not break the pages.

To do this type of offline browsing properly you need to use your web
browsers "save for offline" settings (or whatever they call it).

Alternatively you could try and view these sites in the archive.org
wayback machinery available online.
