How to use Twitter analytics

X Analytics shows counts for your posts and your profile, not a list of who looked. Some views live on each post. Fuller account analytics may require a Premium feature, which you can confirm in the official UI on Help. This is X's own analytics, not a third-party dashboard and not an Evenpost report.

Where do you open X analytics?

X Analytics lives in X's own product, not in a third-party dashboard. Open the current web and in-app path and date those labels. Some views live on each post. Fuller account analytics may sit behind a Premium feature, which you can confirm in the official UI on Help rather than invent.

Live help.x.com returned 403 Forbidden on 10 November 2026, America/Los_Angeles, and no analytics Help page was re-read. A dedicated analytics Help URL needs a snapshot check on publish day. This page did not run a signed-in walk of X analytics on that date, so navigation labels are not guessed from memory.

A search on 10 November 2026, America/Los_Angeles, treated Buffer, How to Use Twitter Analytics to Improve Your Performance as the current number-one result. Buffer's guide, published 16 January 2026, reports that free accounts can open counts on each post, and that Premium accounts can open a fuller account dashboard, including via https://x.com/i/account_analytics on the web and an Analytics item under Premium in the mobile app. Those paths are Buffer's, not a Help quote. Open your own post, and your own account menu, and write down what you see.

What does each post show without opening analytics?

Each post can show counts such as views, likes, replies, and reposts without opening a separate analytics home. This guide will name the labels visible when you check. It will not treat those counts as a list of who looked, and metric definitions X does not publish are not assumed.

Buffer's 16 January 2026 guide reports a bar chart control under your own post that opens impressions, engagements, and other counts. This page did not open that control on 10 November 2026, so those labels stay reported. If your post shows a count, read it as a count. It is not a roster of accounts.

Official definitions for impressions, engagements, or any other metric name are used only when Help publishes them. If Help later publishes one, quote that sentence and date it.

What does account-level analytics add?

Account-level analytics can add totals and ranges across posts and profile activity, which are described here from the current UI and Help. It still does not name the people who viewed a post or a profile. Viewer-list questions belong on the sibling answers, not here.

Buffer's 16 January 2026 guide reports an account dashboard with ranges across posts, profile activity, and audience views, and it says that dashboard is a Premium feature. This page could not confirm that gate on Help, because Help returned 403. Treat the Premium gate as unconfirmed until Help, or a signed-in upsell, can be dated. This page prints no plan prices.

The planned answers about who viewed a tweet or a profile are covered in a separate guide. X analytics will not provide those lists.

Do you need X Premium to see analytics?

Some analytics views may require a Premium feature. You can confirm in the official UI which views are gated by reading Help or the in-app upsell when you check, and it will date that check. No Premium gate is assumed, and no plan prices are printed.

The 29 October 2026 About X Premium snapshot was readable on 10 November 2026, America/Los_Angeles. A search of that snapshot for analytics language did not turn up an account-analytics feature line. That means this page cannot quote Premium Help as the source of a gate. Buffer still reports one. Confirm in your own account: if a view asks you to subscribe, date that upsell. If a count is already on the post, you do not need a dashboard to read it.

What should a founder actually look at each week?

Look at whether individual posts were seen and engaged with, and whether anything looks broken, rather than hunting a vanity total. Use the counts to decide what to write next, not to promise growth. If impressions look missing, that diagnosis belongs on the planned impressions guide.

A weekly pass can be short. Open a few of your own posts and check that counts appear. If a post you published has no count at all, that is a diagnostics question, not a reason to chase a bigger total. How often you post is a separate live answer: How many X posts per day?. Spacing after you approve a draft is covered in What is natural spacing?.

Evenpost is an app for X (Twitter) for solo founders. You and your agent draft, you approve each post in the Evenpost app, and it posts with natural spacing, or right away if you choose Post now. Updates: @evenpost. This page does not describe usage analytics for that product.

If you wanted names of people who viewed a post or profile, those are separate answers. X analytics will not provide those lists.

Re-read this page when analytics Help or in-app analytics labels change, including any Premium gate on account-level views. Help.x.com returned 403 on 10 November 2026, America/Los_Angeles, so quotes and reported paths need a re-read on publish day.

FAQ

How do I open Twitter analytics now that it is X?

X still has its own analytics. Some counts live on each post. Fuller account views may sit in an analytics home, which Buffer's 16 January 2026 guide reports at x.com/i/account_analytics for Premium accounts. This page did not run a signed-in check on 10 November 2026. Open your own post and account menu.

Can I see who viewed a post from analytics?

No. Analytics shows counts, not a list of who looked. Viewer-list questions belong on separate planned answers, which are separate guides.

Do I need Premium for X analytics?

Some views may require a Premium feature. Buffer reports that per-post counts are available without the account dashboard, and that the fuller dashboard is a Premium feature. This page could not confirm that split on Help, because Help returned 403. Confirm in your account, and print no prices.

Does Evenpost have its own analytics?

No. This page does not describe Evenpost usage analytics. That product surface is out of scope.

Where do I go if impressions look broken?

Missing or broken impressions belong on a planned diagnosis guide, which is a separate guide. Do not treat a missing count as a reason to chase growth, and no untested fix is offered here.
