max-age is 10 days, seems reasonable for images.

There is also a request made into Squid by the client. That client
request has a large part in determining whether Squid cache can provide
a HIT or MISS response.

I assume you have replaced all the newlines with commas for some reason,
which puts some doubt ino what the end of line for Cache-Control is
since "public" is missing an end-of-line marker.

Then there is the Content-Length of nearly 6MB. Increase
maximum_object_size to something larger to store these massive images.
Squid by default has a 4MB maximum size for cached objects, which is
enough to store most images, audio, and short videos.
