reading asp.net sitemap

Question

I'm thinking of using sitemap in my asp.net application. Will sitemap affect the application's performance in any way, I mean will it be read repeatedly or only once like web.config and stored in memory?

Answer 1

only once read sitemap later cache

Answer 2

Assuming you are going to use an XML site-map it will be read once. Usage of XML sitemap is one of the best-practices to adopt.
