### How Do We Calculate the Domain Health Score?![508shots\_so](https://support.warmy.io/hs-fs/hubfs/508shots_so.jpeg?width=670&height=503&name=508shots_so.jpeg)

The score is calculated based on four critical areas of deliverability, with each area contributing a specific weight to the overall score:

1. **DNS Records (20%)**
   
     - This category checks your domain’s DNS records, including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, A, and rDNS.
     - Example: If your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are valid but some of the other DNS records have issues, you may earn **17% out of 20%.**
2. **Inbox Placement Test Results (15%)**
   
     - Reflects the percentage of emails delivered to the inbox in your most recent test.
     - Example: If 90% of your emails land in the inbox, you earn **13.5% out of 15%**.![Screenshot\_6](https://support.warmy.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_6.png?width=383&height=249&name=Screenshot_6.png)
3. **Google Postmaster Metrics (25%)**
   
     - Includes metrics like domain reputation, IP reputation, and spam rate, provided by Google Postmaster.
     - Example: If you have a low domain reputation (4%), medium IP reputation (8%), and a spam rate of 1% (4%), you earn **16% out of 25%**.![Screenshot\_7](https://support.warmy.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_7.png?width=385&height=251&name=Screenshot_7.png)
4. **Deliverability percentage (40%)**
   
     - Measures the percentage of successfully delivered emails to inboxes.
     - Deliverability Score = 40 \* (Deliverability Rate / 100)

### What Happens If Some Data Is Missing?

The Domain Health Score dynamically adjusts based on the data available:

- **All 4 areas are connected**: A full weight of 100% is used.
- **Two areas are connected**: The score is normalized to a total of 100%.
- **One area connected**: The score is scaled to 100% based on the available data.
- **No data connected**: The score will display **“No data**.”![335shots\_so](https://support.warmy.io/hs-fs/hubfs/335shots_so.jpeg?width=670&height=377&name=335shots_so.jpeg)
