What this tool should cover

A useful deliverability page should pair the checker with practical guidance on inbox placement, spam folders, authentication, and how to improve a low score.

What this deliverability test checks

The tool combines domain authentication checks with cold-email copy diagnostics. It looks for MX records, one clean SPF record, a DMARC policy, an optional DKIM selector, risky phrases, links, subject length, message length, and personalization signals.

How to interpret the score

A high score means the basic sending foundation is present and the message is not obviously risky. A low score usually points to missing authentication, a monitoring-only DMARC policy, excessive links, spam-trigger phrasing, or copy that is too short to carry context.

What to fix first

Fix hard infrastructure gaps before rewriting copy. Publish SPF, add DMARC, verify the DKIM selector from your sending provider, then retest copy. Once authentication is clean, test subject lines, targeting, and reply-focused CTAs.

Frequently asked questions

What is an email deliverability test?

An email deliverability test checks whether your sending domain, authentication records, and message content are likely to support inbox placement instead of spam placement.

Why are my emails going to spam?

Common causes include missing SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records, weak sender reputation, too many links, spammy phrases, poor list quality, and copy that lacks relevance.

Does this test guarantee inbox placement?

No checker can guarantee inbox placement. It identifies common technical and content risks so you can fix obvious issues before scaling sends.

Should cold email teams test deliverability before every campaign?

Yes. Test before a new domain, new inbox pool, new sending tool, or major copy change, then monitor bounces and replies after launch.
