Squid does not check with the main server unless the object has expired
or the freshness TTL has expired (in case there is no explicit expiry
date set by the origin server).

For freshness TTL tuning, see refresh_pattern. But be careful to not set
it too agressive, or you are likely to cause stale/old pages to be
delivered to your users.
