Notes

Checking your domain reputation is like checking a credit score for your website. There isn't one single "official" score; instead, different providers (like Google, Microsoft, and security firms) each maintain their own view of your domain.
To get a full picture, you should check these three specific areas:
1. Email Sender Reputation (Most Important)
If your website sends emails (like password resets), this is the reputation that matters most.
 * Google Postmaster Tools: This is the "gold standard." It shows you exactly how Google views your domain reputation (High, Medium, Low, or Bad) and your spam rate. Note: You need a certain volume of mail for data to appear.
 * Sender Score (by Validity): Provides a score from 0–100. A score of 90+ is excellent, while anything below 70 usually indicates deliverability problems.
 * Microsoft SNDS: Similar to Google, this provides data on how your emails are being received by Outlook and Hotmail users.
2. Technical Health & Blacklists
These tools check if your domain has been "blacklisted" by security filters or if your technical setup is broken.
 * MxToolbox (Domain Health): A comprehensive "one-click" scan. It checks your domain against over 100 blacklists and verifies your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records (the "ID cards" of your domain).
 * Talos Intelligence (by Cisco): One of the world's largest real-time threat networks. Enter your domain to see if it’s categorized as "Neutral," "Good," or "Poor."
3. Web Safety Reputation
This checks if your website is flagged for malware or phishing.
 * Google Transparency Report: Enter your URL to see if Google's "Safe Browsing" technology has flagged your site as dangerous to visit.
 * McAfee TrustedSource: Shows how security software sees your web and email reputation across their global network.
How to read the results:
 * "Neutral" reputation: This is common for new domains. It just means you haven't sent enough mail yet for providers to trust you.
 * Blacklisted: If you are on a list like Spamhaus, you need to investigate immediately. It usually means a bot is using your forms to send spam.
 * Failed SPF/DKIM: This is a technical error. It’s like sending a letter without a return address; it doesn't mean you're a "bad" person, but it makes your mail look suspicious.
Would you like me to look at your SPF or DMARC records to see if they are configured correctly? (You can just provide your domain name if you're comfortable).
