Deploy DNS caching server
If speed of your ISP's DNS servers is low then browsing through Squid may seem to be slow. The reason for this - Squid does name resolutions for each browser request. This takes excessive amount of time when DNS servers of your ISP are slow or overloaded. To greatly improve browser experience it is possible to install dnsmasq caching DNS server on your Squid box.
Now you need to configure Squid to use the locally installed dnsmasq server. To do that, navigate to Admin UI / Squid/ Settings / DNS and add the DNS address as indicated on the following screenshot.
Click Save and Restart from Admin UI. Reboot your proxy afterwards and after reboot your Squid will use the local DNS cache provided by dnsmasq.
