How accurate is this shadow ban checker?

This tool runs three independent tests against X's live systems: search suggestion lookup, tweet search results, and profile visibility check. It detects the most common types of shadow bans. However, X's visibility filtering is complex and changes frequently — no external tool can guarantee 100% accuracy.

Do I need to log in to check my account?

No. You only need to enter a public @username. The checker does not require access to your X account credentials.

How often should I check for shadow bans?

Check when you notice a sudden, unexplained drop in impressions or engagement (more than 50% decline over 24 hours). Routine checking is not necessary.

Is checking for a shadow ban safe for my account?

Yes. The check queries X's public search and profile systems. It does not interact with your account and cannot trigger any restrictions.
