LinkedIn Analytics are not working - this is not an exotic problem, but an everyday occurrence. Statistics are not displayed, data is missing, the dashboard takes forever to load or simply doesn't show anything useful. Before you think your account is broken: In most cases, it's not a bug in the classic sense, but a combination of permissions, delays and LinkedIn logic. Here are the most common causes - and what you can do about them.
First briefly sort out what exactly is not working:
LinkedIn Analytics are not displayed at all
LinkedIn statistics do not load
Analytics are empty or remain at zero
Data is missing for certain posts
Analytics do not work in the app, but do work on the desktop (or vice versa)
Analytics on the company website are not working
Depending on the case, the cause is different.
This is the classic.
LinkedIn Analytics are not in real time. Sometimes there are delays of
several hours
sometimes 24-48 hours
Particularly common with:
new posts
new company pages
freshly published content
👉 If your post is "just out", the analytics are technically working - they're just not there yet.
If you don't see any statistics on your profile:
Are you logged in?
Are you on your own profile?
are you looking at the right time period?
LinkedIn only shows Analytics:
for your own content
for certain time periods
sometimes only from a minimum activity
No content → no data.
Individual posts without Analytics are normal.
Typical reasons:
Post is very old
Post has been edited or deleted
Post is a repost
Post has little or no interaction
LinkedIn does not display complete data for every piece of content.
This is not a bug, but a platform decision.
Also normal.
The app:
shows less data
sometimes does not load Analytics at all
is significantly less stable than desktop
👉 If LinkedIn Analytics is not working in the app: Switch to the desktop browser. This solves a surprising number of problems.
If nothing works on the desktop either:
Reload the browser
Delete cookies & cache
Test another browser
Try incognito mode
LinkedIn Analytics are extremely cookie-dependent. A broken cache is often enough for nothing to be displayed.
The problem here is often not with LinkedIn, but with you (or your role).
Are you an admin of the page?
Do you have the correct permissions?
Are you logged in as an admin or as a private person?
Without admin rights:
no page analytics
no post data
empty dashboard
This looks like an error, but is actually an access problem.
If the dashboard loads but remains empty:
Possible causes:
Incorrect time period set
Filter active (e.g. only certain posts)
LinkedIn internal bug (happens)
Page or profile too little activity
Tip: Set time period to "Last 28 days" and reset filter.
Yes, there are real LinkedIn Analytics bugs.
Typical signs:
Analytics disappear completely
Values jump massively
Page analytics completely disappear
In this case:
wait and see (LinkedIn fixes a lot on the server side)
Check again later
Do not change everything immediately
Most of these errors resolve themselves without your intervention.
This is usually not a real problem either.
LinkedIn updates:
not continuously
not always daily
not the same for every piece of content
If data "stops", this does not automatically mean that analytics are not working.
This is part of the dead internet reality:
LinkedIn does not show all data
LinkedIn filters content
LinkedIn decides what is visible
You will never see some analytics. This is not a bug, but platform design.
Why are my LinkedIn Analytics not working?Mostly due to delay, missing authorization, app problems or cache.
LinkedIn statistics are not displayed - what to do?Use desktop, check time period, clear cache, check admin rights.
LinkedIn Analytics not working in the app?Normal. Use desktop.
LinkedIn Analytics company page not working?Check admin rights. No Analytics without admin.
In most cases it means
wrong location
wrong device
wrong time
wrong expectation
If you:
use desktop
have admin rights
plan for delays
... LinkedIn Analytics usually work exactly as LinkedIn intended. Not good, not nice, but reproducible.
