I'm a bit late on this thread, but if you're reading in site settings on every page request it would make more sense to put them into the application scope instead of the session scope. If you have multiple "sites" running on the same application you could use a structure to store the data that is read in on the first request (or on application start if using application.cfc) keyed based on the site id. Once read once you won't have to process that data on every request and it will be stored in memory once instead of a new copy for each visitor.
