These checks cover what the send imposes on the recipient and what it leaves them: measurement of their behaviour, ways to leave, tracking of their objection.

Weight of each criterion in the score.
No open-tracking pixel Not met Open-tracking pixel detected on the only campaign concerned 0/30 pts
0 points out of 30 — met on 0 of 1 campaign concerned.
An invisible image tells the sending platform that the message was opened, when, and from which device: this is individual tracking of reading behavior, and the recipient sees none of it. The message does not say whether they consented or objected — that choice lives in the sending platform, not in the email.

The excerpt that establishes it
<img src="https://data.email.miumiu.com/ee/***/open?params=***
How to fix it
Open tracking is turned off in the tracking settings, at the campaign or account level. Look for “open tracking”.
Turning it off loses the open rate — a measure already largely distorted by mailbox privacy protections, which preload images — and changes nothing about the click rate.
Met when no tracking pixel is present. A single pixel is enough for the criterion not to be met on an email.

Unsubscribing is possible and announced Met Unsubscribing is announced, in the header and in the body on a single campaign 15 pts
15 points out of 15 — share of observations met across 1 campaign.
Met when the message announces unsubscribing in its headers, through a page rather than an email to write, and in its body. The detail says which of the two is missing. Not applicable to a transactional email.

The recipient keeps control over tracking Partly met No separate path to refuse tracking on the only campaign concerned (1 of 2 measures met) 10/20 pts
10 points out of 20 — share of observations met across 1 campaign.
How to fix it
A path separate from the unsubscribe link leads to a preference centre where the recipient can refuse tracking (opens, clicks) without unsubscribing. Most email platforms offer this page; otherwise it goes in the template footer, with its own link, named for what it does (“manage my preferences”, “refuse tracking”).
The page takes an afternoon to set up and then serves every send. It is what the CNIL recommendation expects from an email that measures how its readers behave.
Two measures: does the unsubscribe link go through a tracker, and does a separate path lead to a preference center or to refusing tracking? Neither establishes that a refusal succeeds — checking would require following the link, which would record a click on the sending platform's side. They describe the control left to the recipient, not the result they would get.

15 points out of 15 — share of observations met across 1 campaign.
A commercial email must make it possible to identify the advertiser (CPCE, article L. 34-5), and the recipient must be able to know who processes their data. This indicator groups what a message can show of it.

These checks read the authentication verdict set by our server when the message arrived. This verdict is dated by construction: we never recalculate it, which would query today's DNS rather than the DNS of the day the email was sent.

- PM-DELIV-002
- RFC 9989 — Domain-Based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC)
DMARC policy that helps keep out some impersonation Not met DMARC policy in observation only on the only campaign concerned 0/15 pts
0 points out of 15 — met on 0 of 1 campaign concerned.
How to fix it
A _dmarc.<domain> TXT record declares the policy: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:… at the very least, p=reject once the sending sources are aligned. The move happens in stages (p=none with reports, then quarantine, then reject) over a few weeks, reading the reports to find the tools that send on behalf of the domain.
A none policy prevents no spoofing of the domain; quarantine or reject closes the door and meets the Gmail and Yahoo requirements for bulk senders.
Met when the published policy is “reject” or “quarantine”. A “none” policy asks nothing of mail providers: it is published with no effect on messages that impersonate the domain.

- PM-DELIV-003
- RFC 9989 — section 4.7, “p” tag
No SPF failure Met No SPF failure on a single campaign 10 pts
10 points out of 10 — met on 1 of 1 campaign concerned.
Met when SPF does not fail. An SPF “none” alongside a valid DKIM and DMARC is a common and legitimate configuration: it is not penalized.

One-click unsubscribe, as defined by RFC 8058 Partly met One-click unsubscribe not announced on the only campaign concerned (1 of 2 measures met) 7.5/15 pts
7.5 points out of 15 — share of observations met across 1 campaign.
How to fix it
Two headers are added to every marketing send: List-Unsubscribe with an https URL, and List-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click. Platforms that support them turn them on in the sending settings; the URL must accept a POST request and unsubscribe without an intermediate page.
Gmail and Yahoo have required it from bulk senders since 2024; it does not apply to transactional messages.
Met when the “List-Unsubscribe” header carries an https address and “List-Unsubscribe-Post” is exactly “List-Unsubscribe=One-Click”. This is what Gmail and Yahoo require of bulk senders: the mailbox's button then acts without opening a page. Not applicable to a transactional email.
What was measured — 1 met out of 2

- One-click unsubscribe not announced on the only campaign concerned Not met

A DKIM signature that covers what matters Met The DKIM signature covers what matters in the message on a single campaign 5 pts
5 points out of 5 — share of observations met across 1 campaign.
What the signature covers, not only that it passes: an algorithm accepted by RFC 8301, the whole body signed, the From, Subject, Date and List-Unsubscribe headers signed, a signature not expired on receipt. Not applicable without a DKIM signature.

These checks cover what email clients actually do with the message: truncation, style blocks removed, resources never loaded. Each threshold states where it comes from: the documented behaviour of an email client, a specification, or our own method.

Well-formed HTML Partly met Repeated identifiers on the only campaign concerned (3 of 4 measures met) 11.2/15 pts
11.2 points out of 15 — share of observations met across 1 campaign.
How to fix it
Form errors (unclosed tags, duplicated attributes, invalid table/div nesting) come from blocks pasted between editors or from hand edits in the code. Run the HTML through a validator before sending, and fix it at the source in the template rather than in each campaign.
Malformed HTML renders differently from one email client to another, and it is the most common cause of a broken display in Outlook or on mobile.
A doctype, a character set declared in the document, balanced tags and unique identifiers. Each client repairs incomplete markup its own way, which is what makes rendering unpredictable. End tags that HTML makes optional do not count.
What was measured — 3 met out of 4

10 points out of 10 — met on 1 of 1 campaign concerned.

10 points out of 10 — met on 1 of 1 campaign concerned.

Met when the message keeps at least 200 readable characters with images blocked, and a preheader of 40 to 130 characters announces it in the message list. Without a preheader, the inbox shows the first text of the body instead — often “View in browser”.

15 points out of 15 — share of observations met across 1 campaign.
Met when a text version comes with the email and carries the essentials: at least 60% of its text and 80% of its links. A client that does not display HTML falls back on it; reduced to “view the web version”, it renders nothing.

0 points out of 15 — met on 0 of 1 campaign concerned.
How to fix it
Every important action (main button, unsubscribe) exists as text or as an HTML button, not only as a clickable image. For an image button, an alt that names the action and a background colour on the cell keep the area visible even without the image.
With images blocked, an image button becomes an empty rectangle: the reader does not know where to click.
Met when no link is carried by a single image without alternative text: such a link leaves nothing on screen. Not applicable if the message contains no links.

Tap targets large enough Met Tap targets of sufficient size on a single campaign 10 pts
10 points out of 10 — met on 1 of 1 campaign concerned.
Met when no sized tap target falls below 24 px a side (WCAG 2.2, criterion 2.5.8). Only targets with a declared dimension are measured; the criterion's exceptions — a target within a line of text, sufficient spacing — are not. Not applicable if the message declares no dimensions.

The message stays readable with assistive technology Not met The message puts obstacles in the way of assistive technology — none of the 4 measures is met 0/20 pts
0 points out of 20 — share of observations met across 1 campaign.
How to fix it
Four fixes, all in the template: declare the message language on the <html> tag (lang="en" for an email in English), describe each content image in its alt attribute, mark layout tables with role="presentation", and write links that say where they lead rather than “click here”.
The criterion detail shows which ones are missing from your emails; the others are already met.
A decorative image — divider, spacer — keeps an empty alt="": that is what keeps it silent, not an oversight.
Declared language, described content images, layout tables marked as such, link texts that say where they lead: what a screen reader needs to render the message. The detail says which of these measures is missing.
What was measured — 0 met out of 4
- Message language not declared on the only campaign concerned Not met
- Some content images are not described on the only campaign concerned Not met
- Layout tables announced as data tables on the only campaign concerned Not met
- Some links do not say where they lead on the only campaign concerned Not met
The message declares its adaptation to screens Met The message declares its adaptation to screens on a single campaign 15 pts
15 points out of 15 — share of observations met across 1 campaign.
Met when the message declares its viewport and its adaptation to screen width. Without them, it displays on a phone at its original width, and is read by zooming and scrolling sideways.

Dark mode declared Bonus point earned The message declares its support for dark mode on a single campaign +5 pts
5 points out of 5 — met on 1 of 1 campaign concerned.
Earned when the message declares color-scheme or a prefers-color-scheme rule. No standard requires it — clients that force dark mode invert the colors themselves — but declaring it leaves control to the template rather than to the mail client.

Reading notes
How to read this page
-
A criterion that is not observable or not applicable leaves the calculation. It stays listed, never counted as zero: its weight leaves the denominator rather than weighing as a failure.
-
Each line describes an observable finding, with the excerpt that establishes it. No legal qualification is ever attached to it.
-
The measurements come from deterministic analyzers: the same message always gives the same result, and a disputed finding can be redone identically from the archive.
-
Every share is published on an observed basis, and names it: “26 of 30 brands analyzed.” A brand with no email received enters no denominator.
-
The deliverability score is borrowed: its verdict comes from the server that received the message. All the other families come from our own analyzers.
