Slow speed on "some?" pages. SQUID

raysantana

Hi all and welcome to my weird problem.

I have a brand new install of pfsense:

pfSense-LiveCD-2.1.5-RELEASE-i386-20140825-0744
Squid 2.7.9 pkg v.4.3.4
SquidGuard 1.4_4 pkg v.1.9.6

Default configs on almost everything, my problem is that using the squid proxy im getting super really slow speeds on "SOME" webpages, for example i load www.ign.com which is what i consider to be a "heavy" page it loads super fast, but i cant even browse http://cpanel.net/, it loads, after like 10 minutes of waiting, but if not using the proxy on my browser it loads super fast.

This is a pre deployment lab, meaning i can give u any kind of access you need to help me find out whats going on.

Please help, i have no idea what is wrong.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your replay.

I changed "Memory cache size" from 8 to 512, and after that it started loading pages at exceptional speed, then changed it back to 8 just to test and it kept loading the page fast.

Weird behavior since i have the "Hard disk cache system" to null this whole time,

Anyway its working fine and i have no idea why :-X :-\

Thanks for the help.
