Simple rules, applied only to the words that fit in the time.
In short
How much of my cold email does a buyer actually read?
Busy buyers skim. At around four words a second, a three-second skim takes in about a dozen words: your subject and the first line or two. This free test shows exactly which words fit in that time, fades the rest, and checks whether the part that gets read is worth reading.
How it works
Simple, in 3 steps.
- 01
Paste your email
The subject and the body, as you would send them. Nothing is uploaded.
- 02
Watch what gets read
Pick the seconds, press replay, and see the words a busy buyer takes in light up while the rest fades away.
- 03
Fix the part that counts
Up to six checks look only at the words that get read, and tell you what to change first.

Questions
Straight answers.
Is this exactly what my buyer will read?
No. It is a simulation. It shows which words fit in the time you choose, at the reading speed you choose. Real readers vary, and some read every word. The point is to see how much of your email depends on the first few lines.
Why four words a second?
It is a starting point for a quick skim, not a measurement of your buyers. You can change it. Slide the speed up or down and the faded part moves with it.
Why is the subject read first?
In an inbox the subject comes before the email, so it uses up the first seconds. A long subject leaves less time for your first line.
What do the six checks look at?
The subject, whether the opening is a greeting or an introduction instead of something about the buyer, whether the part that gets read speaks to them, has something concrete, asks a question, and whether the email is short enough to take in. They are simple rules, not a verdict, and they work on English. Emails in other languages still show what gets read, but the checks may not fit them.
Is my email saved or sent anywhere?
No. It is worked out in your browser and never uploaded or stored. Only your two slider settings are remembered on your own device.
