A missing record, a mistyped address or a pushy subject line can quietly undo a good campaign. These tools help you catch those things before you send.
A domain can send for weeks with a broken SPF record or no DMARC policy. Inbox providers notice long before you do. A two-minute check shows what is set and what is missing.
Typos, old addresses and role inboxes creep into every list. Sending to them raises bounces and hurts the mailbox that sent. Checking a list first keeps the bad ones out.
How many mailboxes do you need for your volume? How long should warm-up run? What is a lead worth? Rough answers lead to rushed sends and wrong plans. A calculator gives you a starting point.
Open a category to see all of its tools together, from sender records and address checks to sales maths and writing help.
You do not need to try every tool. Start with the check you need today.
Use the popular list, search by name or task, or open a category. Each tool says what it does in one line.
Enter a domain, an address, a subject line or a few numbers. You get a clear result on the same page, with a short note on what to change.
Make the change in your DNS, your list or your copy, and run the check again to confirm it. When you want these checks to run for you every day, try FirstSales.
Each of these takes a minute with a free tool on this page. The names and numbers in these views are sample data.
Enter your domain and read what each record says. SPF lists who may send for you, DKIM signs your mail, and DMARC tells inbox providers what to do when a check fails. A record that is missing or set loosely is the first thing to fix.
Paste a few addresses and see which look safe, which are risky and which are bad. Typos in the domain, addresses at domains that do not take mail and shared role inboxes are the usual problems. Remove the bad ones and think twice about the risky ones.
Type a subject line and get simple read-outs: how long it is, whether it shouts in capitals, whether it uses words that look like spam, and whether it feels written for one person. Short, plain and specific usually wins.
A new mailbox needs time before it sends cold email at full speed. Work out a warm-up plan and how many mailboxes your volume needs. In FirstSales, warm-up runs for 21 days in 3 phases for every mailbox you connect, with hourly checks.

Seven habits that turn a one-off check into fewer problems later.
Run the SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks on every new sending domain before it sends anything. Fixing a record later does not undo the mail that went out while it was wrong.
Many teams send cold email from a domain close to their main one, so their main domain stays clean. Check the records on that domain too. It needs the same care.
Lists go stale. People change jobs and companies change domains. Check a list right before a campaign, not when you first got it.
Write the email first, then sum it up in a few plain words. Run it through a subject line tester and cut anything that sounds like an advert.
A new mailbox that sends a lot on day one looks like spam. Plan warm-up before you plan the campaign, and start small.
A calculator gives you a sensible first number. Your own results will move it. Write down what you assumed so you can check it later.
DNS changes can take time to show up, and a small typo can undo a fix. Always run the check again once you have made a change.
Each one takes a minute or two with a tool on this page.

The record checks read your domain's DNS when you run them. DNS changes can take a while to spread, so if you just made a change, wait a little and run the check again.
