What post analytics includes
Post analytics surfaces can include:
- Total impressions
- Unique reach
- Impressions in the last 45 days
- Profile activity generated by the post
- Engagement metrics
If the post is being promoted, analytics can also show boosted performance, campaign budget, spend,
estimated daily reach, and campaign timing.
When to use post analytics
Post analytics is useful when you want to:
- Understand how many developers saw a post
- Compare organic and promoted discovery
- Measure engagement on your content
- Decide whether a post is worth boosting again
Squad analytics
Squads have a dedicated analytics section under Manage on the Squad page:
/squads/[handle]/manage/analytics
To open it, click the Analytics card in the Squad sidebar, or choose Analytics from the Squad options menu. Old /squads/[handle]/analytics links redirect here.
What Squad analytics includes
Squad analytics focuses on aggregate performance for the squad, including:
- Lifetime impressions
- Lifetime reach
- Impressions over time (last 45 days)
- Upvotes
- Upvotes ratio
- Comments
- Bookmarks
- Awards
- Shares
- Clicks
Impressions and reach are lifetime totals. The chart covers the last 45 days.
Permissions
Analytics availability depends on ownership and moderation permissions.
In practice:
- Post analytics is intended for the post owner or other authorized creator roles
- Squad analytics is intended for squad admins and moderators with analytics access
If you do not have the required access, the analytics action may not appear.
Notifications tied to analytics
daily.dev can notify creators about analytics-related updates, including post analytics updates
within notification settings.
