Can a spam word checker tell me if my cold email will go to spam?
No checker that only reads the text can. Gmail and Outlook decide mostly on the sending domain: its reputation, whether SPF, DKIM and DMARC pass, how new it is, and how recipients react. Wording matters at the margin. A clean email from a brand-new, unwarmed domain still lands in spam. Use this checker for the words, and the deliverability test and domain checker for the rest.
Which words trigger spam filters in cold email?
No published list is official, and modern filters do not block on single words. What they do weigh is the pattern of bulk promotion: money and income claims, manufactured urgency, guarantees and "free", button-style calls to action, shouting in capitals, and stacks of links. The checker groups what it finds so you can see the pattern, not just a word. Our guide on why cold emails go to spam covers the causes in order of weight.
How many links should a cold email have?
None or one in the first email. Every link is something a filter scans, and several links make a personal note look like a newsletter. Never use a link shortener: it hides the destination, which is exactly why spammers use them. Images and tracking pixels add the same risk; see checking if cold emails go to spam.
What does a cold email that stays out of spam look like?
Short, plain text, written to one person, about their problem, with one question at the end and no more than one link. The checker also runs the same writing rules as our cold email checker, and our guide on how to write a cold email shows the structure.
