Spam Word Analyzer
Check your email content for words and phrases that might trigger spam filters
Why Check for Spam Trigger Words?
Email providers use sophisticated systems to filter out unwanted messages, and one of the key factors they consider is the presence of certain words and phrases commonly found in spam. Even legitimate marketing emails can get caught in spam filters if they contain too many "trigger" words.
How This Tool Helps
This analyzer checks your email subject line and content against a database of common spam trigger words. It then calculates a spam score to help you gauge whether your email might be flagged by spam filters. By removing or reducing these trigger words, you can improve your email deliverability rates.

Understanding Spam Filters
Beyond Trigger Words
While trigger words are important, modern spam filters consider many other factors:
- Sender Reputation: Your domain's sending history and reputation
- Authentication: Proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC implementation
- Engagement Metrics: How recipients interact with your previous emails
- Content Structure: Text-to-image ratio, HTML quality, and link patterns
- Sending Patterns: Consistency in volume and frequency
Categories of Trigger Words
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Financial | cash, credit, money, investment, free, discount, save |
| Urgency | act now, limited time, urgent, call now, apply now |
| Marketing | buy, cheap, deal, best price, clearance, satisfaction, guarantee |
| Legal Disclaimers | not spam, this is not spam, no obligation, no catch |
Tips for Writing Spam-Free Emails
- Be specific and relevant: Focus on providing value rather than using sales language
- Use alternative phrasing: Instead of "Free consultation," try "Complimentary assessment"
- Balance text and visuals: Don't rely heavily on images with minimal text
- Personalize content: Address recipients by name and tailor content to their interests
- Test before sending: Use tools like this analyzer and send test emails to different providers
