There are no URLs in that image. There are only wildcards for top-level
domains and a HIT % over the *entire* domain.

To figure out whether any of them should actually have better HIT ratios
you have to look at the actual URLs and see how much uniqueness exists
there.

Then for the _full_ URLs (scheme, domain, path, *and* ?query portions)
which are not very unique look at the response headers to see why they
are not caching well. The tool at redbot.org can help with that last part.
