Publishing Performance Chart
Track how often you're publishing against your Content Velocity target.
The Publishing Performance chart gives you a quick visual of how your actual publishing pace stacks up against your Content Velocity target. It's the fastest way to see whether you're keeping up with the output your traffic goal requires.
Where to find it
In the left sidebar, go to Calendar. At the top of the page, click the View Publishing Performance button. The chart opens inline, right above your content list or calendar.
Click the button again (it switches to an ✕ icon) to collapse the chart whenever you're done.
How to read the chart
Each bar represents how many pieces of content you published during that time period. You can switch between two views using the toggle in the top-right corner of the chart:
- Week — each bar covers one calendar week (Monday through Sunday).
- Month — each bar covers one calendar month.
Hover over any bar to see the exact count and date.
The target line
If you've locked in a target using the Content Velocity calculator, a dashed line appears across the chart showing your target publishing rate. The label updates to match your view — for example, Target: 3/wk or Target: 12/mo.
- Bar meets or exceeds the target — a green checkmark badge appears above the bar. You're on pace.
- Bar falls short — You need to pick up your publishing cadence to stay on track.
If you haven't set a Content Velocity target yet, the chart still works — you'll see your publishing history without the target line. Click your content velocity target in the chart subtitle to set one up.
What the data means
The chart uses the published date of each piece of content in your Calendar. Only content that has actually been published counts — drafts, scheduled items, and in-progress work won't appear.
If your bars consistently land at or above the dashed target line, your publishing pace is on track to hit the traffic goal you set in the Content Velocity calculator. If you're regularly falling short, consider whether you need to adjust your pipeline, your timeline, or your target.
