Know your risk. Fix what trips the filters. Recover faster.
Social Shield is a deep scan of your X (Twitter) account. It runs six checks on the patterns that get accounts throttled or suspended — shadowban signals, posting cadence, reply volume, follow ratio, content risk, and growth velocity — explains each verdict in plain language, and shows you what to fix first.
Runs on your connected X account · Included in Creator plans and above.
The algorithm never warns you.
X quietly limits reach and suspends accounts for patterns you can't see — and you only find out once the damage is done.
Invisible throttling
X never tells you when it dials down your reach. One week your posts land, the next they vanish — with zero notification.
Reply & follow limits
Reply to too many strangers, follow too fast, or let your following dwarf your followers, and X's anti-spam systems quietly restrict you.
Repetition & automation flags
Duplicate hooks, copy-paste replies, and aggressive scheduling read as spam to the filters — even when you're just trying to stay consistent.
Reach falls off a cliff
By the time you feel the drop in impressions and replies, you've usually been filtered for days. The warning always comes too late.
See the risk. Get the fix.
Social Shield turns invisible filter risk into verdicts you understand and a fix-first list you can act on — for X (Twitter).
A verdict you can read
Every check comes back OK, warning, or at risk — with a plain-language explanation of what we saw, not analytics soup.
Exactly what's tripping the filters
Six real checks: shadowban and ghost-ban signals, posting cadence, reply volume, follow ratio, content risk, and growth velocity.
What to fix first
Flagged checks are ranked worst-first into a do-this-next list, each with the specific behavior to change — so you're never guessing.
Trends across your scans
Every scan is saved. Re-scan and Social Shield compares your follower and following velocity against your own history to catch churn, spikes, and drops.
From “why did my reach die?” to a clear next move.

Social Shield FAQ
What is Social Shield?
Social Shield is a deep scan of your X (Twitter) account. It runs six checks on the patterns that get accounts throttled or suspended, explains each verdict in plain language, and ranks what to fix first so you can lower your risk and recover faster.
How is it different from the free shadowban test?
The shadowban test is a one-shot snapshot — is your account being filtered right now? Social Shield goes deeper: it includes those shadowban checks plus five more (posting cadence, reply volume, follow ratio, content risk, growth velocity), explains why your risk is elevated, and shows exactly what to change. Use the test to check; use Social Shield to fix and prevent. Try the free shadowban test.
Can it guarantee I won't get banned?
No — and be wary of any tool that promises that. X makes the final call. Social Shield lowers your risk by fixing the patterns in your control, and helps you recover faster if you've already been hit.
What does Social Shield actually check?
Six things: shadowban and ghost-ban signals (the same outsider-view checks as our free test, plus the reply-deboost test), your posting cadence vs the healthy band for your niche, how heavily you reply to other accounts, your follower/following ratio, content risk in your own posts and replies (spam, duplication, rule-breaking, relentless promotion), and your follower/following growth velocity across scans.
How does it help me get out of a shadowban?
It can't flip a switch — nothing honest can. What it does is pinpoint what's likely triggering the filter and rank exactly what to change first, so you stop the behavior and rebuild visibility the fastest safe way. Most soft shadowbans lift within 2–7 days once the trigger stops.
Do I need to pay to use Social Shield?
Social Shield is included in the Creator plan and above — Creator includes 10 scans per billing cycle, higher plans include more. The one-shot shadowban test stays free for everyone. See plans and pricing.
