Best time to post

The hours and days when an account's audience is most active, so a post gets its early engagement quickly.

Algorithms judge a new post partly on how people react in its first hour. Publishing when your followers are online gives it the best start; publishing at 3am their time gives it a slow one.

General studies suggest weekday mornings and lunchtimes, but the only reliable answer is your own analytics, which show when your followers are active. Once you know the times, a scheduler publishes at them for you, so you don't have to be at your phone.
