you can try to use this tool:
http://redbot.org/
to make sure what are the sites cachebilaty options
maybe some objects there need some cache enforcement rules in the
refresh_pattern specified for them.

I had been working on the settings:
refresh_pattern.
The doc say that is better for the new websites that use dynamic
content and a friend here at the list explain me the difference.
My test was simple:
use 2 browsers: firefox/iexplore.
Run the test twice for each site.
first run
firefox site1, site2,site3,site4
iexplore site1, site2,site3,site4
run ccleaner, repeat the test.
run srg to get my squid-cache peformance and free-sa.
They where 3 settings I try and make the same test.
NOTE: every time I start a setting, I delete my cache, clean my logs
and start from 0.
setting 1 default settings
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
cache deny QUERY
setting 2 new way:
disable the old way:
#acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
#cache deny QUERY
refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0
refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320
setting 2:
refresh_pattern -i (/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0
refresh_pattern -i \.(gif|png|jpg|jpeg|ico)$ 10080 90% 43200
refresh_pattern -i \.index.(html|htm)$ 0 40% 10080
refresh_pattern -i \.(html|htm|css|js)$ 1440 40% 40320
refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320
Them after I finish my test I start reviewing my logs and compare,
the sites I use was:
yahoo.com
osnews.com
frontera,info(local news paper)
noticias,nvs.com
centos.org
I didn't interact with the site, just get to the first page, finish
loading and done, continue with the next one.
Once I check my reports I didn't see to much difference, I found just
1 log that the old way didn't "cache" 1 thing, check:
setting 1/2 have this:
1337667655.898 0 192.168.50.100 TCP_MEM_HIT/200 21280 GET

setting 1 TCP_MISS.

3 settings same TCP_MISS.
I was thinking that maybe I will get more TCP_HIT, MEM_HIT, but no.
noticiasmvs.com a lot HIT's but with the 3 settings.
do this site disable caching their site? exist a way to find out?
what could cause to still get a lot of MISS?
where my settings wrong?
my test was not the best way?
how can I see if this new settings make a difference?
Any input will be appreciated, thanks for your time!!!
I'm using squid 2.7.x
