## Squid: Optimising Web DeliverySquid is a caching proxy for the Web supporting HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more.It reduces bandwidth and improves response times by caching andreusing frequently-requested web pages. Squid has extensive accesscontrols and makes a great server accelerator. It runs on most availableoperating systems, including Windows and is licensed under the GNU GPL.### Making the most of your Internet ConnectionSquid is used by hundreds of Internet Providers world-wide to provide theirusers with the best possible web access. Squid optimises the data flowbetween client and server to improve performance and caches frequently-usedcontent to save bandwidth. Squid can also route content requests to serversin a wide variety of ways to build cache server hierarchies which optimise### Website Content Acceleration and DistributionThousands of web-sites around the Internet use Squid to drastically increasetheir content delivery. Squid can reduce your server load and improvedelivery speeds to clients. Squid can also be used to deliver content fromaround the world - copying only the content being used, rather thaninefficiently copying everything. Finally, Squid's advanced content routingconfiguration allows you to build content clusters to route and load balancerequests via a variety of web servers.> > [The Squid systems] are currently running at a hit-rate of approximately 75%,> effectively quadrupling the capacity of the Apache servers behind them. This> is particularly noticeable when a large surge of traffic arrives directed to> a particular page via a web link from another site, as the caching efficiency for that page will be nearly 100%.- Wikimedia Deployment Information.### Want to learn more?The Squid project provides a number of resources to assist users design,implement and support Squid installations.
