Introduction
Readers skip long articles when they don't know how much time they'll take.
ReadTime shows an accurate reading-time estimate and a progress bar on your articles.
Enable the plugin, set reading speed, and choose where it appears.
What it does for your site
- A fair estimate: based on your audience's reading speed, with an allowance for images.
- Minutes or seconds: for long reads or short notices.
- Placed exactly: before or after articles, or with a shortcode.
- More detail: word count and estimated finish time.
- Progress as they read: an accessible progress bar.
- Hide on short posts: set a minimum word count.
