Your Global Deliverability Score combines three weighted signals into a single number from 0 to 100. Each one reflects a different way mailbox providers judge your sending.

The formula: 40% Audience quality + 20% Content quality + 40% Authentication = your Global Score.

The three pillars in detail

  • Audience quality (40%) — your bounce rate, your spam complaint rate, and recipient engagement (opens and clicks). This pillar tells mailbox providers whether real people want your emails.
  • Content quality (20%) — spam triggers in your copy, message structure, link quality, and personalization. This pillar grades the message itself.
  • Authentication (40%)SPF, DKIM, DMARC and blacklist status across every sending domain.

Why we weight them this way

Mailbox providers tell us two things matter most: who's opening your emails (audience) and whether your domain is properly authenticated. That's why audience and authentication both carry 40%. Content matters too, but it's a smaller share of the decision — even perfect copy can't compensate for missing DMARC.

See where your score is coming from

Open the Deliverability Center and look at the Global view. Each pillar shows its current sub-score, so you can see exactly which one is helping or hurting. Then improve the weakest one first.
