Proxy servers store copies of frequently requested web pages, allowing them to satisfy some user requests without contacting the original server, reducing latency. A proxy server receives HTTP requests from clients, checks its cache for requested objects, and either returns the object if found or requests it from the origin server and returns the response to the client. This improves performance by fulfilling common requests from cache rather than requiring transmission from the distant origin server.
