This free Facebook post analyzer scores your post with a model trained on 1,432 real Facebook posts from 102 pages.
Write a post or paste a link to one. You see it in Facebook's own feed, on a real post or on your own account, with the parts that helped or hurt in real posts. A link also gets its real numbers against the page's typical post.
Here's what a Facebook post analyzer is, how the score works, what 1,432 Facebook posts show, and how to write posts that beat your own usual.
What is a Facebook post analyzer?
A Facebook post analyzer checks a post before you post it, or after, and shows what to change.
Most score against rules someone wrote, or ask an AI to guess. This one scores against what won: posts from the same page, posted within 30 days of each other, where one got at least twice the reactions of the other.
How the score works
The analyzer measures 25 parts of your post: its first line, its length, numbers, lists, "I" and "you", links, hashtags, mentions, pictures and more.
A model weighs each part by how often it won those matchups. Your score says where your post lands among all 1,432: 70 means it beats 70% of them.

How accurate it is
I tested it 5 times. Each time the model learned from 4 in 5 of the 96 pages and was graded on the fifth, which it never saw, so every page was graded once.
Across those tests, the post it scored higher got more reactions 54% of the time, in 3,900 pairs where one post got at least twice the other's reactions. A coin flip gets 50%.
That's a hint, not a promise. The topic, the timing and the picture itself aren't in the score, and they matter more than the wording.

How long a Facebook post can be
Facebook allows far more than a feed post ever needs. What matters is the first lines people see before "See more", so lead with the point.
Read any post from its link
Paste a link to any public Facebook post, yours or anyone's, and the analyzer reads it for you: the text, the picture, the reactions, comments, shares and a video's views.
Then it reads the page's latest posts and compares. "4.1× this page's typical post" means the post got 4.1 times the median reactions of the page's recent posts.
That's the honest version of a virality score: not a guess about the wording, but how the post actually did against the page's own normal.
How to write posts that beat your usual
Here's what won most often in the data:
- Say it short. Under 100 characters, one idea. Posts with it won 56% of 989 pairs.
And what lost:
- Put the link in the first comment. Posts with a link won only 30% of 569 pairs.
- Drop the capitals. Posts with a word in capitals won only 41% of 1,354 pairs.
- Answer instead of asking in the first line. Posts that open with a question won only 41% of 913 pairs.
- Drop the ask. Posts with an ask won only 44% of 970 pairs.
Then post, and let your own numbers decide. Paste the link back in after a few days to see how it did against your usual.

Where the data comes from
I read the latest public posts of 102 Facebook pages: creators from my creator directory, the creators in my research feed, and well-known creators in business, writing, AI, health and money. My own accounts are left out.
Replies, reposts and posts under 2 days old are left out too, because their numbers are still growing. That left 1,432 posts.
The model learned from pairs of posts by the same page within 30 days, so the audience was the same and the wording was the difference. Each page was graded by a version of the model that never saw it. The posts themselves stay private: only the model's weights and counts are published.
