Shadowban Lab

Are you shadowbanned?

An honest reach check. We read your public engagement patterns and recent hashtags, then flag the real, fixable signals — no scare tactics.

An honest heuristic, not an official test — Instagram never confirms shadowbans. We read public engagement patterns and recent hashtags to flag the things you can actually fix. Public accounts only.

Honesty is the whole product

The internet is full of “shadowban testers” that fabricate a scary verdict to farm clicks. Shadowban Lab does the opposite: it tells you the truth — that no one can be 100% certain — and then shows you the signals you can check and fix yourself.

Fix what actually moves reach

Most reach problems aren't a mysterious ban — they're a restricted hashtag, a content change, or a natural dip. The lab separates the fixable from the imagined so you stop guessing and start posting with confidence.

FAQ

Quiet answers.

No — and any tool that claims a definitive yes/no is lying, because Instagram never confirms shadowbans. What we can do is check the honest, observable signals: engagement drop, risky hashtags and reach health.

Your engagement rate, whether recent posts dropped sharply versus earlier ones, whether your recent captions use banned or restricted hashtags, and your comment-to-like ratio — each explained plainly.

Fix the flags. Remove risky hashtags, vary your content, and give it a couple of weeks — the report tells you exactly which lever to pull.
