Measured, not guessed

The best time to post on X,
from accounts that were actually measured.

Across 59 audited accounts, 37% of the strongest posting hours fall in the morning, and the most common peak is 10:00 AM, local time.

Every strong hour, stacked

Each audited account contributes its three strongest hours. Taller means more accounts peak there. Hours are local to each account, in its own timezone, which is why the useful answer is a part of your day and not a clock time.

Common questions

What is the best time to post on X?

Measured across 59 audited X accounts, 37% of the strongest posting hours fall in the morning, and the most common peak is 10:00 AM. These are local hours in each account's own timezone, so the practical answer is to post in your own morning rather than at one universal clock time.

Is there one best time to post for everyone?

No. Every account measured here peaks at different hours, and the hours are local to each poster rather than a single global clock time. A generic "post at 9am" recommendation ignores where your audience actually is and when they actually read.

How are these hours measured?

Chad reads an account's recent original posts, excludes replies and reposts, and scores each hour of the day by how well posts published in it actually performed for that account. The three strongest hours from each audited account are counted here. Follower count is not a factor.

How do I find my own best time to post on X?
