Larry,

 

I don't know of a way to clear the cache. I tried lowering the time to display in settings but it made very little difference.  The large number of guests is usually due to search engine traffic unless you are a very popular site. You can verify this by looking at the server log.

 

One month Google searched my site a lot generating 9.5gb (not a typo - gigabytes) of traffic by themselves! I asked them why so much traffic, got a reply about sending them the IP they were searching from.  I never got around to sending that info back as the server log was so huge I couldn't find it!  Not too long after that (a month or so) it went back to normal levels of activity from them (350mb or so).

 

I think the problem I had was the Google sitemap module.  The one I had at the high traffic time was a very early version maybe even the first one released. The newest one seems to do much better at giving them the sitemap.

 

That's my experience.

How do I clear cache of guests online?

 

Eg I have 

 

"There are currently 9 users and 504 guests online."

 

I wish these 504 guests will join us online :)
