LinkedIn's algorithm distributes posts in two waves. The first wave happens within the 30–90 minutes immediately after you post. If that initial engagement is strong, the algorithm pushes to a much larger audience in the second wave. Miss the active window and your post may never leave the first wave.
A well-crafted post published at the wrong hour can underperform by 40–70% compared to the same post in the peak window. For founders and creators investing hours into content, this is a significant, avoidable loss.
The heatmap here aggregates data from 11 major LinkedIn engagement studies published between 2022 and 2024, normalized across B2B audiences in each region. It is a static reference — your personal analytics should always take priority when you have enough historical data.

Text, video, and carousels each have different peak windows. Select accordingly.
Filter by industry
Different industries have different work patterns. A healthcare post lands at different hours than a tech post.
