Stop losing customer trust and sales because WooCommerce order confirmation, shipping notices, or password-reset emails silently land in customer spam folders.<\/p>\n\n

InbxGuard Email Deliverability Auditor for WooCommerce<\/strong> runs automated, non-intrusive diagnostic checks against your store's email authentication records and WooCommerce sender configuration. It evaluates your setup against 2024+ Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook bulk sender requirements and gives you a clear Deliverability Health Score (0\u2013100)<\/strong> with plain-English fixes.<\/p>\n\n

Why You Need This<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • Silent Failures:<\/strong> Stores often have no idea that order emails are going to spam until frustrated customers complain.<\/li>\n
  • Strict 2024+ Mail Requirements:<\/strong> Major mailbox providers (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft) now actively reject or spam-box unauthenticated emails sent from domains without proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC alignment.<\/li>\n
  • WooCommerce-Aware Context:<\/strong> Unlike generic DNS checkers, this plugin cross-references your DNS health directly with your WooCommerce email templates (Order Processing, Completed, Customer Invoice, Password Reset) to show you exactly which transactional emails are at risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Core Features<\/h3>\n\n
      \n
    • Instant Health Score (0\u2013100):<\/strong> Visual animated score ring that rates your overall deliverability readiness.<\/li>\n
    • SPF Record Audit:<\/strong> Verifies the existence and syntax of SPF records (v=spf1<\/code>) on your sending domain.<\/li>\n
    • DMARC Record Audit:<\/strong> Checks if _dmarc<\/code> policy is published to protect your domain reputation.<\/li>\n
    • DKIM Selector Probing:<\/strong> Checks common selector patterns (default<\/code>, google<\/code>, k1<\/code>, mail<\/code>, etc.) to detect DKIM signing status.<\/li>\n
    • Sender Alignment Check:<\/strong> Confirms whether your WooCommerce \"From\" address domain matches your store domain.<\/li>\n
    • Public Webmail Detector:<\/strong> Flags dangerous configurations (e.g. sending as @gmail.com<\/code> or @yahoo.com<\/code>), which trigger instant spam filters.<\/li>\n
    • SMTP Provider Detection:<\/strong> Identifies if an authenticated SMTP\/API mailer plugin is active (WP Mail SMTP, FluentSMTP, Post SMTP, etc.).<\/li>\n
    • WooCommerce Email Risk Table:<\/strong> Assesses every registered WooCommerce transactional email and ranks customer-facing emails by risk level.<\/li>\n
    • Actionable Step-by-Step Fixes:<\/strong> Plain-English instructions for resolving every detected warning or failure.<\/li>\n
    • One-Click AJAX Re-Scan:<\/strong> Test DNS changes instantly without refreshing the page.<\/li>\n
    • Lightweight & Secure:<\/strong> Zero frontend impact, transient-cached DNS lookups (6-hour TTL), rate-limited scanning, and strict capability checks.<\/li>\n
    • HPOS Ready:<\/strong> Fully declared and compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload the inbxguard-email-deliverability-auditor<\/code> folder to your \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory, or install it directly via the WordPress Plugin Directory (Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>).<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
      3. Make sure WooCommerce<\/strong> is installed and activated.<\/li>\n
      4. Navigate to WooCommerce \u2192 InbxGuard Email Audit<\/strong> in your admin menu to view your deliverability report and score.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

        Does this plugin send or alter my store's emails?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. InbxGuard Email Deliverability Auditor is strictly a read-only diagnostic and auditing tool. It inspects your DNS records and WooCommerce configuration to report issues, but does not alter your outgoing email content or sending flow.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does this replace SMTP plugins like WP Mail SMTP or FluentSMTP?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No, it complements them. SMTP plugins handle how<\/em> your email is sent through external mail servers. InbxGuard checks why<\/em> emails might still land in spam (DNS authentication, SPF\/DKIM\/DMARC alignment, and sender reputation rules).<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What if my DKIM check shows a warning?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        DKIM selectors are unique to your email provider (e.g. Google Workspace, Amazon SES, Brevo, SendGrid). The auditor checks the most common selector names automatically. If you use a custom selector, your emails may still be signed properly\u2014simply verify the selector in your SMTP service dashboard.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does running audits slow down my store?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Not at all. DNS lookup results are cached using WordPress transients for 6 hours, and re-scans are throttled to a maximum of once every 30 seconds. There is zero overhead on customer-facing store pages.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Is this plugin compatible with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes! HPOS compatibility is officially declared and verified for modern WooCommerce releases (8.0+ through 9.3+).<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
