- What performance data does Viral Finder give me for each post?
- Each post shows the viral score (0–100), engagement metrics, post type (Reel, carousel, image, video), and publish date. The viral score is the most actionable metric — it tells you how much the post outperformed that account's own average, normalized by follower count.
- Can I check the performance of a specific post I want to study?
- Viral Finder works at the account level — you enter a username and see all their posts ranked by performance. Once you see the ranked list, you can focus on any individual post you want to study. There's no single-post URL lookup, but the account-level view gives you the performance context to evaluate any post you find.
- How do I use post performance data to improve my own content?
- Identify the top 5 posts from 3–5 competitor accounts and look for common performance drivers. If carousels with educational hooks consistently score highest, that's your benchmark format. If long captions outperform short ones in your niche, that's a tactical insight worth testing on your own account.
- How quickly do post performance scores stabilize?
- Engagement accumulates fastest in the first 24–48 hours after posting. For reliable viral scores, posts benefit from at least a week of engagement accumulation. Very recent posts (under 48 hours old) may show lower scores than their final settled performance.
- Is the post performance checker free?
- Yes. 3 free performance checks with no credit card required. Each covers a full account's post history, ranked by performance score.
