RE: [squid-users] Help!! No TCP_HIT in access.log

Paul,

I use Squid as an accelerator.

Something that helped me dramatically improve my HIT ratio was to run my pages
through the "Cacheability Engine Query" at
http://www.web-caching.com/cacheability.html

It showed me that I needed to add mod_expires among other things
to my Apache web server.

If the engine says your page isn't cacheable then its my experience that Squid won't cache it.
