Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about email deliverability and subject line optimization.

How accurate is the spam word detector?

Our tool checks against a comprehensive, regularly updated list of hundreds of known spam trigger words used by major ESPs like Gmail and Outlook to flag promotional or malicious emails.

What is the ideal length for a subject line?

For optimal rendering on both desktop and mobile devices, we recommend keeping your subject line between 3 and 8 words, or roughly 40-60 characters.

Does capitalization really matter?

Yes. Using ALL CAPS triggers spam filters and often looks unprofessional or 'shouty' to the recipient. Use sentence case or title case instead.

Should I use emojis in my subject line?

Emojis can increase open rates by making your email stand out, but using more than one can look like spam. We recommend a maximum of one relevant emoji per subject line.

Why is my subject line score low even if I don't use spam words?

A good subject line isn't just about avoiding spam words. Our score also penalizes you if the subject is too short, too long, uses excessive punctuation (like multiple exclamation marks), or lacks personalization.

Are my subject lines stored or tracked?

No. All analysis is performed entirely in your browser. We do not transmit, save, or track the subject lines you test using this tool.
