Performance
In the Performance tab you can see how your recipients engaged with your email.
All accounts include the following email performance data:
- Open rate: this is the percentage of people who have opened your email out of the people you send the email to. An email open is counted open, when the images in the email load, or when the user clicks on a link in the email even if the images don't load.
- Click rate: this is the percentage of people who clicked a link in your email out of the people you send the email to.
- Delivery: this is the listing of the number of successful deliveries, bounces, unsubscribes, and spam reports.
- HTML click map: it shows a breakdown of your clicked links in the email. Hover over a particular link to view more detailed statistics.

- Top engaged contacts: this report shows the contacts that opened or clicked the email. Click the tabs in the upper right to view top engaged contacts by Clicks or Opens.
- Time spent viewing email: this report detailed whether your recipients read, skimmed, or glanced at your email. (Some clients, such as Gmail, do not provide this data.)
- Read: this is the percentage of contacts who opened and viewed the email for at least eight seconds.
- Skimmed: this is the percentage of contacts who opened and viewed the email for two to eight seconds.
- Glanced: this is the percentage of contacts who opened and viewed the email for less than two seconds.

This information can be used when selecting email clients to test before you prepare to send your next campaign. In the upper right, view engagement by Opens or Clicks.
Recipients
The Recipients tab gives view of the email's deliverability and engagement with each contact.
- Sent: these are the contacts on your selected recipient lists minus exclusion lists. If your email contains multiple recipient lists, HubSpot compiles a conclusive list of contacts and excludes duplicates so that no contact will receive more than one of the same email message.
- Delivered: these are the contacts whose email server sent HubSpot a reply that the email was delivered.
- Opened: these are the contacts who have opened the email.
- Clicked: these are the contacts who have clicked any link in your email except the unsubscribe or subscription preferences links).
- Bounced: these are the contacts who bounced and didn't receive the email.
- Unsubscribed: these are the contacts who received the email and opted out of this or all email subscription types. These contacts will be dropped from future emails.
- Spam reports: these are the contacts that reported the email as spam to their email provider or manually moved the email from their inbox into the junk folder. These contacts will be omitted from further emails.
- Not sent: contacts who were omitted automatically to protect your email sender reputation. This includes the contacts who previously hard bounced, opted out of the subscription, or marked a previous marketing email as spam. This also includes contacts that haven't confirmed their subscription and contacts omitted due to low engagement.
