Priority fixes for bandcamp.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Enable
XML sitemap discoverable
Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.
Why it matters: A sitemap helps search engines find new and updated pages, especially on large or frequently updated sites.
What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
84% of Audio & Music Streaming peers do this. Limit: Only the standard location was requested, once, at the time of the check.
Guide: XML Sitemap Guide: Include Only URLs You Stand Behind
Priority 2 · Harden
DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject
Observed: The DMARC policy for bandcamp.com was p=none, which asks receivers to take no action on failing mail.
What to do: Publish DMARC with p=none and a reporting address first, fix any legitimate senders that fail SPF or DKIM alignment, then move to quarantine and finally reject.
38% of Audio & Music Streaming peers do this.
Priority 3 · Enable
Canonical URL declared
Observed: The homepage did not declare a canonical URL.
What to do: Add a self-referencing canonical link to every indexable page, using the final https:// URL.
82% of Audio & Music Streaming peers do this.
Priority 4 · Harden
Framing restricted
Observed: The homepage did not send frame-ancestors or X-Frame-Options, so other sites may frame it.
What to do: Send Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self' (or a list of trusted origins). X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN covers older browsers.
42% of Audio & Music Streaming peers do this.
