Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 212,567 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,364 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 13:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it

  • 90% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 143 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    Portugal boss Jorge Jesus has doubled down on the Cristiano Ronaldo situation 😳: 🗣️ "I can promise whatever I want. I'm the coach, right? I'm the coach who told the player, 'You weren't going to play. I'll put you on the bench. If I need you for 30 minutes, then you'll play. If I don't need you, then you won't play' Cristiano isn't going to, and no player will ever change my ideas as a coach. Never. Right? Not him, not anyone in football. Not him. Not anyone. Not any president. Never. Zero."
