The Instagram algorithm heavily weights the first 60 minutes after a post goes live. If engagement is high, the post is pushed to the Explore page. If it's low, the post dies in the feed.
This makes posting time critical.
The Myth of the "Best Time to Post"
If you Google "best time to post on Instagram," you'll get generic answers like "Wednesday at 11 AM." This is dangerous advice. The best time to post depends entirely on your specific audience demographic and timezone.
