What is Twitter Analytics?
Twitter analytics (also called X analytics since the rebrand) is the process of measuring and reporting on your Twitter account's performance. It covers everything from how many people see your tweets (impressions) to how they interact with them (engagement rate), who your audience is, and which content drives the most results.
Twitter used to offer a built-in analytics dashboard at analytics.twitter.com, but since the transition to X, access has become limited — especially for free accounts. X Premium subscribers get some analytics through the app, but the data is restricted to 28 days and lacks export options.
That's where Tweet Archivist comes in. Instead of relying on Twitter's limited native analytics, you can upload your full Twitter data export (which X gives you for free) and get a complete analytics dashboard covering your entire account history — every tweet, every like, every reply, going back to your first post.
How to See Your Twitter Analytics
There are two ways to access your Twitter stats and metrics — through X's built-in tools (limited) or through a third-party analytics tool like Tweet Archivist (complete).
Option 1: X's Built-In Analytics (Limited)
If you have X Premium, you can see basic analytics directly in the app:
- Open the X app or go to x.com
- Tap your profile icon and go to Settings
- Look for Creator Tools → Analytics
- You'll see impressions, profile visits, and engagement for the last 28 days
The built-in dashboard only shows the last 28 days of data, doesn't let you export anything, and doesn't include advanced metrics like engagement rate by content type, posting heatmaps, or sentiment analysis.
Option 2: Upload Your Twitter Archive to Tweet Archivist (Complete)
X lets every user download their complete data archive for free. This archive contains every tweet, reply, like, DM, and more — going all the way back to when you created your account. Here's how to use it:
- Go to Settings → Your Account → Download an Archive of Your Data on X
- Verify your identity and request the archive (takes 24-48 hours)
- Download the
.zipfile when it's ready - Upload it to Tweet Archivist
- Get your full analytics dashboard with charts, stats, and export options
This gives you analytics on your entire Twitter history — not just the last month.
Twitter Stats & Metrics Explained
Understanding your Twitter metrics is the first step to improving your performance. Here are the key stats you should be tracking:
Impressions
The number of times your tweet appeared in someone's timeline or search results. High impressions with low engagement usually means your content is being seen but not resonating.
Engagement Rate
Total engagements (likes + retweets + replies + clicks) divided by impressions. A good engagement rate on Twitter is between 1-3%. Above 5% is excellent.
Likes & Retweets
Direct engagement signals. Likes indicate appreciation; retweets indicate your content is worth sharing. Retweets typically drive more reach than likes.
Replies & Mentions
Conversation signals. A tweet with many replies usually indicates it sparked discussion — which the algorithm rewards with more visibility.
Follower Growth
Net change in followers over time. Track this alongside your posting frequency to see which content drives follows vs. unfollows.
Top Performing Tweets
Identifying your best tweets by engagement helps you understand what topics, formats, and posting times work best for your audience.
Tweet Archivist calculates these metrics automatically from your archive upload. Paid plans also let you export your data to CSV or Excel for custom analysis.
Your Data Stays Private
We only read the aggregate metadata from your archive (tweet counts, timestamps, hashtags). We never store your actual tweet content, DMs, or media. The ZIP file is deleted after processing.
X Analytics: Twitter Data Analysis After the Rebrand
Since Twitter became X, the analytics landscape has changed significantly. The old analytics.twitter.com dashboard was shut down, and analytics are now bundled into X Premium subscriptions. Free users lost access to most of their account data.
The good news: your data still exists. X is required to let you download a complete archive of your account data (it's a GDPR and privacy regulation requirement). This archive contains every tweet you've ever posted, your likes, bookmarks, DMs, follower history, and more — in machine-readable JSON format.
The problem is that the raw archive is just a folder of JSON files — not exactly user-friendly. Tweet Archivist takes that export and turns it into a visual analytics dashboard with charts, filters, search, and export tools. Whether you still call it Twitter analytics or X analytics, the data analysis works the same way.
What You Can Analyze From Your Twitter Data
- Tweet volume over time — see how your posting habits changed over the years
- Engagement patterns — which tweets got the most likes, retweets, and replies
- Posting heatmaps — your most active days of the week and hours of the day
- Content type breakdown — original tweets vs. replies vs. retweets vs. quote tweets
- Hashtag and mention analysis — who you interact with most, which hashtags you use
- Word and topic frequency — what you tweet about most often
- Sentiment trends — NLP-powered analysis of tone and sentiment over time
This kind of deep Twitter data analysis isn't available through X's native tools at any price tier. You need your full archive and a tool that can parse it.
