Twitter shadowban check and test

A Twitter or X shadowban, as people use the term, means a public account whose posts are hard for others to find in search. This check compares a public profile and a sample of recent posts with search results, and it cannot prove an enforcement action. Enter an X username or profile link. Compare eligible posts from a sample of 20 timeline posts with up to 20 Latest search results in the same date window. Read the sample visibility percentage and inspect which posts were found, missing or skipped.

No. This checker compares eligible recent posts with a sample of search results and checks whether the public profile is accessible. It does not measure reply placement or autocomplete suggestions, so it cannot diagnose a ghost ban, reply deboosting or a search suggestion ban.

No. It can show the visibility evidence available at the time of the check, but cannot change your account or remove a restriction. Check any notices in your X account and use X’s own appeal options if a notice offers them.

The share of eligible sampled posts found in the search response. We skip reposts, replies, posts older than 30 days, posts less than 15 minutes old, and posts outside a full search page’s time range. The 15-minute buffer is a precaution, not an indexing guarantee from X. An inconclusive check has no percentage.

No. Only X can confirm its internal enforcement decisions. This is an observable visibility check.

Protected accounts, missing profiles, empty timelines and upstream failures do not supply enough evidence for a comparison.

A missing post can reflect indexing delays, the search date window or the provider’s limited coverage. Expand the checked posts to see which were compared, then use Check on X to compare with Latest search. Missing matches alone do not establish a shadowban.

It checks whether the public profile is accessible, then compares eligible posts from a sample of 20 timeline posts with up to 20 Latest search results in the same date window. Reposts, replies, posts older than 30 days, and posts less than 15 minutes old are skipped. If 4 of 12 eligible posts appear in search, sample visibility is 33%. That describes the sample. It is not a probability of being shadowbanned.

This checker does not report a duration and does not send a notification. It only shows the visibility evidence from the current check. Only X can confirm its own enforcement decisions.

A missing match can reflect indexing delays, a small sample, private content or provider coverage. An inaccessible profile or empty timeline produces an inconclusive result, not a shadowban diagnosis. Results may be cached for five minutes. Free live lookups share a daily service limit.
