Benchmarks FAQs

What does ‘best day rank’ mean?

This is the highest position a post achieved based on page views. If you’ve applied no filters to the benchmarks page, the rank shown takes all posts across the site into account. The ranking may change based applied filters. For instance, a post with a best day rank of No. 3 across the whole site may have a best day rank of No. 1 when a “Business” section filter is applied.

What do the bubble sizes represent in Posts Performance graphs?

The bubble graphs under the Posts Performance section of the benchmarks page use larger bubbles to indicate more all-time page views. Smaller bubbles indicate fewer all-time page views.

What posts are included on the benchmarks page?

Posts are included on the benchmarks page if they were published during the selected month or quarter and had a best day rank of 300 or above. Evergreen posts published outside the selected time period will not be included on the benchmarks page.
