Best Time to Post FAQs
Timing tests,answered
How benchmark tables, audience vs shown timezone, and controlled tests relate to your real posting schedule — plus how to run tests in OpenQuok.
No. This tool does not read your account analytics or predict a personal “best hour.” It outputs a timing test plan: concrete publish times you can copy and schedule, built from the benchmark catalog (see the next question). Run those posts as controlled tests for one to two weeks, then keep the windows that your OpenQuok workspace and each platform’s insights show actually work for your audience.
Each platform has a fixed benchmark catalog (morning, lunch, and evening-style windows) aligned with published industry timing surveys — last reviewed 2026-08-20. Slots are computed in your audience timezone (when viewers should see the post). Shown timezone only changes how those same moments appear in the text and calendar preview (for example Bangkok local time while the audience is in New York). Cadence picks which days and how many windows per day; “3 posts per week” uses the primary window on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Nothing is pulled from your connected channels or platform analytics APIs.
A single “magic” hour is rarely reliable. Multiple slots let you A/B test nearby windows across the week so you can replace generic advice with data from your audience.
