A real sample, scoring 77 and a grade B. The fixes are ranked by how much each one costs the business in enquiries, trust or search visibility.
-
Email impersonation protection (DMARC)
Without it, anyone can send email that looks like it came from you.
Quick fix
-
Email on your own domain
An address at your own domain looks more established than a free Gmail address.
Moderate
-
Email sender list (SPF)
It lists who may send email for you, so your quotes are less likely to land in spam.

Question not here? WhatsApp Luke and he’ll answer it himself.
Is it really free?
Yes. The check is free and there is no obligation. You get the score, the grade and the fixes that matter most.
What do you do with my email address?
It is used to send your report and to reply to you about it. It is never sold or shared. You can ask for it to be deleted at any time.
How accurate is it?
The instant score reads your home page the way a phone and Google do, and checks your domain’s public email records. The speed score comes from Google’s mobile speed test, which can take up to half a minute; if Google is busy or doesn’t answer in time, your speed score comes in the emailed report instead. The full report checks every page. Results can vary a little between runs.
