Understanding Your Spam Analysis Results
Our Email Content Spam Checker evaluates multiple factors that email filters use to determine whether a message is legitimate or spam. Understanding these results will help you craft more effective emails with better delivery rates.
Spam Score and Risk Level
The spam score (0-100) represents the likelihood that your email would be flagged as spam:
- 0-20 (Low Risk): Your email has few or no spam indicators and should have good deliverability.
- 21-60 (Medium Risk): Your email has some concerning elements that might trigger spam filters in certain situations.
- 61-100 (High Risk): Your email contains numerous spam indicators and would likely be filtered or blocked by most email providers.
Detected Issues
The tool checks for common spam triggers including:
- Excessive Capitalization: Words or phrases in all-caps that might appear "shouting" to readers and filters
- Spammy Language: Words and phrases commonly associated with spam, such as "free offer", "act now", etc.
- Poor HTML Formatting: Broken or obfuscated HTML that might hide malicious content
- Image-to-Text Ratio: Too many images with minimal text, a common spam pattern
- Suspicious URLs: Links to known spam domains or misleading URL patterns
- Punctuation Patterns: Excessive exclamation marks or unusual character sequences
Improvement Suggestions
For each issue detected, the tool provides specific recommendations to improve your content. These actionable suggestions are designed to help you make targeted changes that will decrease your spam score and improve deliverability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this spam checker?
Our spam checker analyzes your email content using many of the same criteria that major email providers use to filter spam. While no tool can perfectly predict how every email service will handle your message, this analysis provides a strong indication of potential deliverability issues based on content patterns. Email providers use additional factors beyond content (like sender reputation and technical configurations) that this tool doesn't evaluate.
Is my email content secure when using this tool?
Yes. All processing is done on our secure servers, and we do not store your email content after analysis is complete. The content is only used for the purpose of generating the spam analysis report. We recommend removing sensitive information before submission if you have privacy concerns.
Can I check both plain text and HTML emails?
Yes. Our tool is designed to analyze both plain text and HTML email content. For HTML emails, the tool will examine both the visible text and the underlying HTML code for potential spam indicators. This includes checking image-to-text ratios, HTML obfuscation techniques, and other formatting issues that might trigger spam filters.
How can I get a perfect (zero) spam score?
A perfect zero score isn't always necessary or realistic for marketing emails. Instead, aim to keep your score in the low-risk range (0-20). Focus on following the specific suggestions provided by the tool, use natural language, avoid excessive capitalization and exclamation marks, maintain a good text-to-image ratio, and be careful with promotional language. Remember that content is just one aspect of email deliverability—sender reputation and technical setup are also critical factors.
Why does my email have a high spam score despite looking normal?
Sometimes spam triggers aren't obvious. Your email might contain multiple minor issues that add up, hidden HTML elements with suspicious patterns, or industry-specific terms that overlap with common spam language. Review the detailed breakdown section to identify all contributing factors. Also, check for invisible elements if you're pasting HTML content, as these can contain problematic code that isn't visible in the rendered email.
