# What Are SPF and DMARC Email Deliverability Scans in My Dashboard?

## In your dashboard, you'll see SPF and DMARC listed under your Website Health. Here's what they mean and what you should do if yours show they need work done.

Your diib dashboard includes email deliverability scans to help ensure your emails reach inboxes instead of spam folders. This includes checking for SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) records... tools that help protect your domain and improve email delivery.

### **Why Are SPF and DMARC Important?**

While these records aren’t required for SEO, they’re great for improving email security and ensuring your emails get delivered reliably. Properly configured SPF and DMARC records help prevent your domain from being misused and boost the chances of your emails reaching inboxes (so they don't end up in spam).

---

### **What Does “Issue Detected” Mean?**

If your dashboard shows “Issue Detected,” it may mean:

- SPF or DMARC records are missing or not fully set up.
- Minor deliverability issues are being flagged, but they don’t necessarily mean your emails aren’t being delivered.

This is a common and fixable issue, and we’re here to help you monitor it.
