Best time to post on Facebook on Wednesday
Wednesday behaves like Tuesday and Thursday on Facebook: a settled midweek audience in normal browsing rhythms. Use the same windows you would use on the other midweek days.
Our Facebook Wednesday posting time figures are not published yet
We only publish posting times we measured ourselves, from posts actually published through Bolta. That aggregate is still being compiled, so this page shows the reasoning without the numbers rather than recycling someone else’s round figures. It is excluded from search results until the data lands.
In the meantime, Bolta’s Optimal Time already computes the answer for your own account rather than a benchmark average.

What makes Wednesday different on Facebook
Wednesday has nothing structurally distinctive about it on Facebook. It sits in the middle of the settled midweek block and behaves like the days on either side of it — same availability, same competing volume, same browsing habits.
The only mild difference worth knowing is runway: a Wednesday post has fewer days left in the week to accumulate comment-driven re-promotion than a Tuesday one, and fewer than it needs to reliably straddle into weekend browsing the way a Thursday post can.

Frequently asked questions
Is Wednesday a good day to post on Facebook?
Yes, and for the same reasons Tuesday and Thursday are: your audience is in a settled routine and reachable in ordinary break windows. There is no Wednesday-specific effect on Facebook worth planning around.
Is Wednesday better than Tuesday on Facebook?
Not in any way that shows up reliably. They are close enough that your own Page's data should decide it. If anything, Tuesday has marginally more remaining week for a post to keep circulating.
What should I post on Facebook on Wednesday?
Treat it as prime midweek inventory: the content you most want people to comment on and share. If you publish a strong piece on Tuesday, Wednesday is the natural place for the follow-up or the discussion prompt attached to it.
Do the best Wednesday times differ from other weekdays?
Not materially. The same mid-morning, lunch-break and post-dinner availability pattern applies across the midweek days, so a schedule that works on Tuesday should be reused rather than re-derived.
Stop looking up posting times
A benchmark table is an average of other people's audiences. Bolta's Optimal Time reads your own Facebook history and schedules each post into the window that actually works for your account — then keeps adjusting as the audience shifts.
Methodology
These pages report posting times measured from posts published through Bolta — our own data, not a third-party benchmark. The aggregate is still being compiled, so no sample size, date range or figures are published yet and this page is excluded from search results.
When it publishes, this block will state the exact post count, the number of accounts, and the date range behind every number on the page.
