Priority fixes for pokemon.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Enable
robots.txt published
Observed: No robots.txt file was returned at the site root.
Why it matters: robots.txt is where crawlers look first for crawl rules and sitemap locations. Without it, they assume everything is open.
What to do: Publish /robots.txt with any crawl rules you need and a Sitemap: line pointing to your XML sitemap.
84% of Gaming Platforms & Consoles peers do this. Limit: Only the standard location was requested, once, at the time of the check.

Priority 2 · Accelerate
Static files cached for 30 days or more
Observed: A same-site stylesheet or script was cacheable for 1 hours, short of the 30-day benchmark.
What to do: Give versioned (fingerprinted) CSS, JavaScript, fonts and images Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable, and change the file name whenever the content changes.
46% of Gaming Platforms & Consoles peers do this.
Priority 3 · Accelerate
Modern image formats in use
Observed: The homepage had 43 images and none used WebP or AVIF.
What to do: Serve WebP or AVIF with a JPEG or PNG fallback, either through an image CDN or by generating both formats at build time.
43% of Gaming Platforms & Consoles peers do this.

Priority 4 · Accelerate
No render-blocking scripts in <head>
Observed: The homepage <head> loaded 2 external scripts without async or defer.
What to do: Add defer to scripts that need the DOM, async to independent ones such as analytics, or move them to the end of the body.
49% of Gaming Platforms & Consoles peers do this.
