just enable it and point your customers to it. see manual:

thanks normis for ur reply. well it is enabled and my costumers are pointed to it. but i didnt see an improvement in browsing, only in downloaded files. so thats why i am asking is there is something to do so that we can improve webpage caching?
thanks again
that is because cache these days is useless for improving browsing - 99% of web content is dynamic and cannot be cached. php files and databases are used, caching html files is no longer helping anything.
so there is no solution for that, i mean to improve browsing through caching if we have dynamic content?
dynamic content changes every time you access the page, or you will get wrong data. thats why there is no use to cache dynamic pages.
I have 80 gig cache over 350 customers and get a 20% Byte hit rate.
So it seems would only help 20% of the time 
20% is a good sign.
Usually 10% would make you happy.
AND, that 20% is 20% of your bandwidth saved for other purposes.
Its good, but its only 20% of my http bandwidth 
So really, it only save me 5 - 10%
But yes, for me its worth it
sorry for interupting, but i there a solution to deal with dynamic web content. on a linux based proxy"squid" we were able to deal with dynamic content of youtube website. so would ther be a solution even if it was pure squid??
you can’t “deal” with it. if you will cache it, your customer will not see the latest content. he will ask you why his news site shows yesterdays news … this is not logical to cache dynamic content.
guys but web cache is important for pictures alot ,is web proxy helpful ?
it will work for pictures, yes.
