Early reading. We have captured 6 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.

A typical post picks up 2.2K interactions against 1.9M followers, an engagement rate of 0.111%. Posts are seen about 126K times each, and 1.72% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 6.47% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 6 posts sampled, 33% carry an image or video and 67% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 45K interactions, about 21x its own typical post. Only 6 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,583 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 23:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 23:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video33% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K
Outbound link67% of posts-41%-42% to -40%32K
Typical length--3%-3% to -2%54K
  • 33% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 67% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 110 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    If Democrats in Congress care about affordability, then why did every single one of them vote against eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security? Instead, Democrats tried to massively hike taxes on working families. They are affordability frauds.

    .@SecScottBessent on tariffs refunds: "The Democrat AGs who filed the ridiculous lawsuit against this Administration wanted the money to go back to the payer of record — so that is corporate welfare. The American people had that money, and if I hear another Democrat legislator make the inane remark 'the American people should get the money' — the American people HAD THE MONEY in the U.S. Treasury and we were forced to give it back."

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 2.2K interactions against 1.9M followers, an engagement rate of 0.111%. Posts are seen about 126K times each, and 1.72% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

Posting runs at about 1.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 6 posts sampled, 33% carry an image or video and 67% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 45K interactions, about 21x its own typical post.

What is White House Press Office's engagement rate on X?
White House Press Office (@PressSec) has an engagement rate of 0.111%, based on the median interactions across 6 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,947,134 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.111%, White House Press Office sits above the 25th percentile of the 204,583 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.

When does @PressSec post?
Most posts go out around 23:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.7 posts per day across the measured window.
