Engagement
A typical post picks up 326 interactions against 2.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.015%. Measured over 193 original posts, its engagement rate beats 53% of 3,829 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 21K times each, and 1.57% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

Of the 193 posts sampled, 59% carry an image or video and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 19K interactions, about 58x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Orlando Pirates's engagement rate beats 53% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 69% 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 0.015%, Orlando Pirates sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 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 13:00 UTC, and Saturday 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.

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 326 interactions against 2.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.015%. Measured over 193 original posts, its engagement rate beats 53% of 3,829 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 21K times each, and 1.57% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.983% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 6.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 193 posts sampled, 59% carry an image or video and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 19K interactions, about 58x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #orlandopirates, #oncealways, #matchday.
- What is Orlando Pirates's engagement rate on X?
- Orlando Pirates (@orlandopirates) has an engagement rate of 0.015%, based on the median interactions across 193 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,114,438 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.015%, Orlando Pirates sits above the 25th percentile of the 37,071 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 @orlandopirates have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 53% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,829 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 @orlandopirates post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 6.43 posts per day across the measured window.
