DIAGNOSTIC
Find out why a video is not getting views
When a video underperforms, the useful question is not why it failed but which stage failed. A video nobody saw and a video everybody clicked and then abandoned have nothing in common, and the fixes point in opposite directions.
This YouTube video analyzer separates them. Paste the link, add screenshots of your Studio analytics, and it returns a scored breakdown across five stages: discovery, click, hook, retention and engagement — with the weakest one named.
It reads the screenshots directly, so it is working from your real retention curve and your real click-through rate rather than from guesses about them.

Discovery is whether it was shown at all. Low impressions with a healthy click-through rate is not a title problem — the title is doing fine with the few people who saw it. The problem is upstream, usually topic or packaging legibility.
Click is impressions that did not convert. That is the title and the thumbnail, and it is the only stage where changing something after publishing still helps.
Hook is the first thirty seconds. A retention curve that falls off a cliff immediately means the video did not deliver what the thumbnail promised, fast enough.
Retention is the long middle. A slow steady bleed is a pacing problem; a sharp drop at 4:12 is a specific moment you can go and watch.
Engagement is what happened after — likes, comments, subscribers, and whether it led anywhere.
Impressions, click-through rate and the retention curve are private to your channel. No external tool can read them from a public URL, and any tool that claims to diagnose a video without them is inferring from the outside.
So the analyzer asks for the Studio screenshots and actually reads them. That is the difference between a diagnosis and a guess dressed up in confident language.
Run it on a single video that puzzled you and you get one answer. Run it across several and the useful thing usually shows up in the overlap — the same stage failing repeatedly is a channel problem, not a video problem.
A channel whose click stage fails every time has a packaging habit. A channel whose hook stage fails every time has a structural habit. Those are worth far more than a fix to one upload.
The stage it names decides which tool is next. A click failure sends you to the thumbnail and title. A hook failure sends you to the script — a pattern interrupt earlier, a shorter run-up. A discovery failure is usually about the idea itself.
That is the point of naming the stage rather than handing back a general score: the diagnosis is only worth something if it changes what you do next.
● QUESTIONS
It is one of two very different problems: it was never shown to many people, or it was shown and not clicked. Impressions and click-through rate separate them in seconds, and the fix is completely different in each case.
The video link, plus screenshots of your YouTube Studio analytics — impressions, click-through rate and the audience retention curve. The screenshots are what make it a diagnosis rather than a guess.
Only the public side of it — the title, the thumbnail and the packaging. Retention and click-through rate are private to the channel owner, so a full diagnosis is only possible on your own videos.
Give a video at least a few days before drawing conclusions. The first 24 hours are noisy, and a curve read too early usually says more about the launch window than about the video.
It names the stage that broke and explains why, which is what determines the fix. Rewriting the hook or redesigning the thumbnail is then done in the relevant tool.
It works per video, but running it across several of your videos surfaces the repeating pattern — and a stage that fails every time is a channel-level habit worth more attention than any single upload.
