Content Strategy Analysis
Based on 130 videos
14 of the 128 videos that aren't pinned (10.9%) passed twice the average plays and 3 passed five times it. Plays are uneven from one video to the next (consistency grade D). 72 of 130 videos are under 15 seconds and 15 run a minute or longer.
Video Duration Breakdown
How the account's recent videos split across length bands. It shows the format the creator leans on, from very short clips to long-form.
26s
Average Duration
The account favors videos under 15 seconds since they make up more than half of the content.
Original Sound Usage
Share of videos set to an “original sound”: audio a TikTok user uploaded rather than a licensed track. It can be this creator's own or another user's upload; Top Sounds below names who made each one.
Engagement by Video Length
Average engagement grouped by video length, so you can see which durations actually get the strongest response for this account, not just which ones they post most. Each row averages its videos' own rates (likes, comments and shares per play), so every video counts the same. The 10.3% engagement rate above divides all likes, comments and shares of the videos that aren't pinned by all their plays, so the most-played videos count most: that is why it sits above every row.
| Duration | Videos | Avg Engagement |
|---|---|---|
| <15s | 72 | 8.01% |
| 15-30s | 26 | 7.35% |
| 30-60s | 17 | 7.17% |
| 1-3min (best) | 15 | 8.06% |
Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing
Based on 130 videos (0.6% sample)
The videos we analysed went up most often on Sunday and Thursday and most around 6:00 and 7:00 UTC.
Posting Frequency
How often the account posts, against the typical tracked creator. It tells you whether to expect a steady stream or occasional drops.
Not shown for this account. The 130 videos we analysed include 3 pinned videos, which TikTok keeps at the top of a profile however old they are. Counting them stretches the date range, so a weekly rate from this sample would understate how often the account posts. The day and hour charts count 289 uploads, pinned ones included.
Most Active Days
Which days of the week new videos most often appear. These are upload times, when fresh content lands, not necessarily when the audience is watching. This chart counts 289 uploads with a date, a wider set than the 130 videos analysed above.
Posting Hours (UTC)
A heatmap of the hours (UTC) when this account publishes. Darker or taller blocks are the busier posting windows. Read it as the creator's release schedule, not their audience's active hours.
How to read these charts
The busiest hour is 7:00 UTC while Friday remains the quietest day.
