Twitter Analytics Guide: How to Read X Analytics and Turn the Numbers Into Better Posts
Which X metrics matter, how to calculate engagement rate, and a simple weekly routine for turning your Twitter analytics into better posts.
GrowX Insights reads your recent posts and followers through the x.com tab you already have open and turns them into clear numbers: engagement per post, the hours that work, the topics and formats that land, and how your audience is changing.

Insights starts with post analytics: views, likes, reposts, replies, bookmarks and engagement rate for each of your recent posts. The numbers refresh every 3 hours while an x.com tab is open, so you can watch how a post develops over its first day instead of checking it by hand. The free plan covers your latest 30 posts.
What works groups your posts by topic and format (questions, images, plain text, threads and links) and compares their engagement. Over a few weeks this answers practical questions: do your threads do better than single posts, do images help, do links hurt? Answers based on your own account beat general rules, because every niche and audience behaves differently.
The growth chart and history show your follower count over time. Daily goals for posts, replies and new followers, streaks, milestones and a monthly goal planner turn the numbers into a routine you can actually keep, which matters more for growth on X than any single post that happens to go viral.
Generic charts of the best time to post on Twitter mix many accounts, time zones and niches. GrowX builds a week by 24-hour heat map from two signals that belong to you: the engagement your own posts got at each hour, and when your followers are active. Warm cells are hours worth testing; cold cells are hours to avoid for important posts.
The heat map is most useful together with the post scheduler. Move your queue slots toward the warm hours, post there for a couple of weeks and look again. If the pattern holds, keep it; if not, try the next warm block. The best time to post guide walks through a simple testing routine.
Engagement and follower growth are not the same thing. A post can collect plenty of likes from people who already follow you and bring nobody new. Which posts brought followers, part of Full analytics in Premium, looks at the 24 hours after each post and highlights the posts followed by more new followers than your usual pace.
The weekly report (Premium) compares this week with last week: new followers, unfollowers and best posts, with a notification on Monday. Together with the unfollower tracker, it shows both sides of growth, who arrived and who left, so you can tell whether a change in your content helped or hurt.
GrowX reads everything through an x.com tab that is already open, one small step per minute at most, so there is no separate login and no X password. Your settings, history, posts and analytics stay in Chrome's storage on your computer rather than on a GrowX server. Optional anonymous usage counts, which contain no X data, can be switched off.
The trade-off is coverage. GrowX only knows what it has seen while Chrome was running with x.com open, so a fresh install starts with your recent posts and builds history from there. X's own analytics remain the official record for your account; GrowX adds the comparisons, timing and follower links in one place next to your scheduler and goals.
Every Premium feature is included in the free 30-day trial. No credit card.
