A web page wouldn't, but the HTTP response containing the HTML object/page
may.

Squid follows the HTTP specifications on what may be cached, and quite
closely matches what the cacheability check engine reports.

You can tweak this in by the refresh_pattern setting.

With todays dynamic world a lot of pages is not cacheable due to being
dynamically generated by the web server on each request. Most linked
images, objects etc is cacheable however.
