FAQ
How long should an email subject line be?
Aim for under 50 characters - most mobile inboxes truncate subjects around 30-40 characters, so front-load the important part.
What are spam trigger words?
Phrases like "free", "act now", or "100% guarantee" are commonly flagged by spam filters, especially in combination with other spammy signals like ALL CAPS or excessive punctuation.
What is preview text (preheader)?
The short snippet of text shown next to or below the subject line in most inbox views. It's a second chance to earn a click, so it shouldn't just repeat the subject.
Does a high score guarantee good deliverability?
No - this checks common best-practice signals in the subject and preview text itself. Actual deliverability also depends on sender reputation, authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and list health.
