The Best Time to Post on Twitter in 2023

Timing of your tweets is everything when it comes to maximizing engagement and reach on Twitter. With millions of tweets being sent out every day, it's important to know when your audience is most active and engaged.

Unlike Facebook, Twitter shows your followers the most recent content first. By posting at the right times, you can increase your reach, engagement, and ultimately, your success on the platform.

In this article, we'll explore the best times to tweet in 2023 for maximum impact.

How to determine the best time to post on Twitter

Method 1. Find out when your audience Is online

If you want to make the most of your Twitter presence, it's important to understand when your audience is most active on the platform and tailor your posting schedule to your specific audience. And since every account has a unique following, you need to start using analytics tools like Pallyy to analyze your tweets and mentions perfomance.

Most importantly, you need to look at your Top Mentioners and Top Locations to find out when your audience is active.

Key metrics to track:

  • Top mentioners
  • Top mentioners location

Method 2. Experiment scheduling tweets at different times of the day

Twitter shows your audience your most recent tweets, so if you schedule multiple posts throughout the day you can find out your best time to post based on the engagement your posts get. However, there is some trial & error involved in this method and if you have a small number of followers the results may not be conclusive enough.

Metrics to track:

  • Top tweets by likes, comments, reach, replies
  • Peak times for engagement (hours, days)
