Engagement
A typical post picks up 43 interactions against 457K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 37 original posts, its engagement rate beats 29% of 3,862 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 4.3K times each, and 1.00% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.938% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 37 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 351 interactions, about 8.2x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Catholic News Agency's engagement rate beats 29% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 50% 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.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.009%, Catholic News Agency sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,459 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 43 interactions against 457K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 37 original posts, its engagement rate beats 29% of 3,862 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 4.3K times each, and 1.00% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.938% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 13% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week.

- What is Catholic News Agency's engagement rate on X?
- Catholic News Agency (@cnalive) has an engagement rate of 0.009%, based on the median interactions across 37 original posts from the last 30 days against 457,255 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.009%, Catholic News Agency sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,459 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 @cnalive have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 29% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 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 @cnalive post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
