Timing
Engagement

There is no universal "best time," but there are reliable windows when audiences are more active. Use them as a starting point, then adjust to your own results.
Reliable starting windows
- Weekdays: 8—10am and 4—6pm local time
- Weekends: 9—11am local time
- Avoid late nights unless your audience skews nocturnal
Make timing work for you
- Pick two primary windows and schedule consistently for 3—4 weeks.
- Track leading signals: saves, shares, and early comments.
- Iterate your schedule by +/− 30 minutes based on engagement.
