A proxy is an "intermediary" between a client and a server.
A typical proxy use case is server balancing. Let's assume a site has 10 servers. However, the site receives requests only through a proxy, which redirects each received request to one of the 10 servers, so that the workload is evenly divided among the 10 servers.
Another use case is the cache proxy. In this case, repetitive requests and static pages like images, scripts, etc. are in the memory of the proxy, not on disk, to improve response performance. In general, only the dynamic pages would be passed to the backend servers.
