Squid negative speed increase

[lamle]

I have a squid box running as intercept mode for internet access.
The problem is the HIT percent quite low and Speed increase is negative.
Here is the statistic:

Is there any solution to improve the SQUID ?

[periko]

How many users are crossing the proxy?
Did u use auth?
Did u check cache.log? any error message?
Your dns is working properly?

[lamle]

@periko said in Squid negative speed increase:

ng the proxy?
Did u use auth?

This squid server serve about 1200 to 1500 Users.
I don't use auth, no error found, dns google work normal.
