Hi IIS_tech13e,

You could empty the cache by below options:

• Restart the Server
• Restart the Process
• Recycle the App Pool

You could set recycle app pool condition as you want.Recycling Settings for an Application Pool .

You could also set Output caching in iis.

there is no downtime when you recycle an application pool : a new process is initiated for all the new requests while the old process ends to serve its requests before going to die.

By the way, you can schedule a recycling at different times for your 2 application pools in the recycling options : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.applicationhost/applicationpools/add/recycling/periodicrestart/

Hi,

You could set app pool recycle Regular time interval or you set specific time span for recycle app pool. It is better option if you set app pool recycling 2 or 3 times in day. continues app pool recycling some time cause your site resources.

If you are using session management in your site then you could have some issues.You have to reload everything into memory this takes time,during this time users are waiting.Long running requests will be killed.
