Engagement
A typical post picks up 121 interactions against 633K followers, an engagement rate of 0.019%. Measured over 41 original posts, its engagement rate beats 42% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 6.1K times each, and 1.99% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.963% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 41 posts sampled, 95% carry an image or video, 7% are part of a thread and 98% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 759 interactions, about 6.3x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #forocap, #forocap2026.

Compared with accounts its own size
El Faro's engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 70% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.019%, El Faro sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

Reportes de prensa indican que detrás de los ataques de aviones que salieron de El Salvador a barcos pesqueros ecuatorianos en el Pacífico, a inicios de año, está envuelta la CIA. Una fuente dijo que se trata de una operación secreta que se desarrolla en el extranjero aprobada por el presidente de los Estados Unidos, pero en la que no se reconoce públicamente la participación del gobierno estadounidense. https://t.co/TZ84Dmf8dx

El seis de noviembre de 2025, Silvia y su hija de cuatro años salieron desde un cantón de Santo Tomás hacia una tienda de ropa usada en el Centro Histórico de San Salvador. Cuando la mujer de 32 años caminaba por la Avenida Cuscatlán, frente al Palacio Nacional, la Policía la capturó por parecer sospechosa de un crimen que había sucedido tres horas y media antes. A la fecha Silvia sigue detenida, pese a que incluso la policía presentó al perpetrador del crimen. https://t.co/CIXSFDtJP4

EDITORIAL | El ministro de Seguridad de la dictadura salvadoreña, Gustavo Villatoro, acompañó su anuncio sobre la reciente captura de un pandillero con una serie de mentiras e infames acusaciones contra este periódico. El Faro no ofrece ni puede ofrecer asilos ni “tranquilidad en México” a nadie. Ni en México ni en ningún otro país. Esas protecciones las otorgan los Estados, no periodistas ni este periódico. El ministro sabe esto. Su intención es difamar, acusarnos a nosotros de proteger pandilleros para no responder a todas las preguntas abiertas desde que publicamos esos materiales. https://t.co/dbylKOBKCV

- What is El Faro's engagement rate on X?
- El Faro (@_elfaro_) has an engagement rate of 0.019%, based on the median interactions across 41 original posts from the last 30 days against 632,662 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.019%, El Faro sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 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.
- Does @_elfaro_ have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 42% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @_elfaro_ post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.97 posts per day across the measured window.
