How to audit and optimize your email templates?

Below is a checklist that you can use to do this. We would recommend you tick these off one by one.

1. Live links: Check your templates to ensure all the links in the CTAs, sign-up buttons, social buttons, etc., are valid and correct.

2. Accessibility: Ensure all your email's images have alt text. And that text in your email is not an image. (Avoid using all-image email at all cost.)

3. Email sizes: Make sure your HTML emails don’t exceed 102kb and individual images in your email don’t exceed 100kb in size. Inbox providers clip large emails, and heavy images take longer to load.

4. Button size: Make sure the buttons in your email are big enough to accommodate a fingertip for mobile users.

5. Personalization: Make sure the personalization parameters and fallbacks for the same are used correctly in the email.

đź’ˇ Bonus:

  • You can use this pre-deployment checklist to optimize your email templates. Bookmark this page to use it any time you create one.

  • You can also get your templates peer-reviewed by colleagues and friends.

There are other things that one needs to do for responsiveness and dark mode, which we will discuss in the following days.
