You have erased the vital information about *which* website URL and
*where* it is. Have not provided any information about which squid version
you are talking about either.

To get any type of useful help you need to present enough facts for
someone else to replicate the problem please.

All we can do at this point is say "yes. Your log shows that a website is
loading slowly". Other sites work fine? then conclude that the problems is
not in Squid itself but somewhere else which impacts Squid.
