Remove. * so are the .*?$ at the end of some patterns. This bit is also probably doing more harm than good. Because the $ hints to regex that it should scan right-to-left and the path and query portions of the URL is the largest pieces to scan over. Remove. * the following two lines are redundant. The first will match everything the second would have caught. Drop the second one. refresh_pattern -i \.htm 120 50% 10080 reload-into-ims refresh_pattern -i \.html 120 50% 10080 reload-into-ims * the pattern below the comment "#Very aggressive 120 Days" contains duplicates. there are probably some smaller fixes, but those are the biggest I can see without suggesting you drop those patterns entirely. You would do well from an upgrade of Squid. The later versions have eliminated the need for ignore-no-cache, ignore-private, ignore-auth (the latter two there do really, really bad things). I am also curios why you are ignoring must-revalidate? it is a bandwidth reduction mechanism.
