Frequently Asked Questions
What Twitter metrics does XLab track?
XLab tracks impressions, engagements, engagement rate, likes, retweets, replies, profile clicks, link clicks, and follower changes per post. At the account level, it tracks total follower growth over time, average engagement rate, best-performing content, and audience demographics including follower niche classification.
Is XLab better than X's native analytics?
For creators, yes. X's native analytics are basic and limited. XLab adds follower niche classification (what types of people follow you), historical trend analysis, best time to post recommendations, and comparative benchmarks — features that X's analytics don't offer. XLab also surfaces your top-performing content to help you identify what resonates.
How far back does XLab's analytics go?
XLab imports your recent tweet history on connection and tracks all activity going forward in real-time. Historical data depth depends on your plan and Twitter API limits, typically covering the last 3,200 tweets per the Twitter API standard.
Can I see when my audience is most active?
Yes — XLab analyzes when your specific followers engage most with your content and recommends optimal posting windows for your account. These are personalized recommendations based on your actual audience activity, not generic "best times" from industry averages.
