First thing to do is make sure you are expecting the right stuff.

Initial requests are expected to be MISS. Since Squid does not have them
yet. It's the second and later requests that are expected to maybe be HIT.

Also, Check the HTTP headers. Cache-Control, Expires:, or
Last-Modified headers are needed in the response for squid to be able to
store objects. Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, private all prevent
caching, as does authentication unless 'pubic' is listed.

If you are sure
