Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing
Based on 296 videos (14.5% sample)
The videos we analysed went up most often on Wednesday and Saturday and most around 21:00 and 23:00 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 296 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 302 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 302 uploads with a date, a wider set than the 296 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
Wednesday and Saturday are the top upload days while Sunday is a quiet day.
