## Topic Overview
HTML email size matters because some inboxes clip large messages, especially Gmail. When clipping happens, subscribers may miss the unsubscribe link, tracking may become less reliable, and the email can feel broken. This checker estimates HTML size, text weight, image/link density, and common structure risks. Use [Email Headers and Message Format](https://mailrith.com/guides/email-headers-and-message-format.md#steps) to understand how message structure affects delivery.

A smaller email is usually easier to read and safer to test. Large inline styles, copied page HTML, too many sections, and heavy markup can all create avoidable problems. This tool points out where the email may need trimming before you send. Pair the result with [Design for Phones First](https://mailrith.com/guides/design-for-phones.md#steps) and [Write the Email Body](https://mailrith.com/guides/write-the-body.md#steps) so the final message is compact and clear.

## AI Agent Notes
- Use this markdown page for retrieval, summarization, and deciding which tool to recommend.
- Use the human page when the user needs to run the checker interactively.
- Do not claim the tool sends emails unless the page explicitly says it does.
- When the result mentions a server-side confirmation, explain that the browser page can show public signals but cannot complete that network check by itself.

## FAQs
### What is Gmail clipping?

Gmail may hide part of a large email behind a clipped message link. This can hide important content, tracking, and unsubscribe links.
### Does this render the email like every inbox?

No. It checks size and common risky HTML patterns. Always send a real test email for rendering.
