About Email subject line tester

Scores a subject line on length, spam-trigger words and excessive capitals, and previews how it appears in an inbox. Mobile screens cut subjects at about 30 to 40 characters, so the key words belong at the start. ALL CAPS and many exclamation marks also raise spam suspicion.

How to use Email subject line tester

  1. Type your email subject line.
  2. Review the score and notes on length, spam words and capitals.
  3. Edit the subject and watch the inbox preview update.

Frequently asked questions

How long should an email subject be?

Aim for about 40 to 50 characters. Mobile inboxes show even less, so place the most important words near the beginning.

Why do capital letters hurt a subject line?

ALL CAPS looks like shouting and is common in spam, so filters and readers react badly. Use normal sentence case, with a capital only where it is natural.

Do emojis help or hurt?

A single relevant emoji can draw the eye, but many look spammy. Test your audience and keep the key words at the start of the line.
