Avoid Spam Filters

Spam filters look for certain words and phrases that indicate promotional or malicious content. This tool scans your email and identifies potential triggers like "free", "urgent", "act now", etc.

Common Spam Triggers

Urgency words. "Act now", "limited time", "hurry" trigger spam filters.

Money words. "Free", "cash", "earn money" are heavily filtered.

Aggressive CTAs. "Click here", "sign up free", "buy now" get flagged.

Who Uses This

Email marketers use it to improve deliverability. Sales teams use it to avoid spam folders. Cold emailers use it to maximize inbox placement.

frequently asked questions

Does avoiding spam words guarantee delivery?

No, but it significantly helps. Deliverability also depends on sender reputation, authentication (SPF/DKIM), and recipient engagement.

What spam score should I aim for?

Keep your score under 5. A score of 0 is ideal. High scores (10+) significantly increase spam folder risk.

Are ALL CAPS really that bad?

Yes. Multiple words in ALL CAPS is a major spam signal. It looks like shouting and triggers filters.

Can I use any of these words at all?

Yes, sparingly. One or two low-risk words are usually fine. Avoid stacking multiple spam words in subject lines.

Spam filter behavior varies by provider. This tool checks common triggers but cannot guarantee inbox placement.
