Peak posting hours
Posts per week, the average gap, active days and the consistency score are not shown for this account. The posts we analysed include pinned posts, which Instagram keeps at the top of a profile however old they are, so counting them stretches the date range and understates how often the account posts. Peak days and hours count the same posts.
Instagram gave us the date of these posts but not the time, so there are no posting hours for this account. Peak days use the dates.
