Priority fixes for topstepx.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.
88% of Stock & Crypto Trading peers do this. Limit: Only the standard location was requested, once, at the time of the check.

Priority 2 · Harden
DMARC policy enforces quarantine or reject
Observed: No DMARC record was found at _dmarc.topstepx.com.
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.
58% of Stock & Crypto Trading peers do this.
Priority 3 · Enable
XML sitemap discoverable
Observed: No sitemap was listed in robots.txt or found at /sitemap.xml.
What to do: Generate an XML sitemap of canonical URLs, reference it in robots.txt and submit it in Google Search Console.
78% of Stock & Crypto Trading peers do this.
Guide: XML Sitemap Guide: Include Only URLs You Stand Behind
Priority 4 · 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.
55% of Stock & Crypto Trading peers do this.
