Article Read Time & Progress Bar

Readers can see an estimated time to finish an article before they begin. This helps set expectations and gives visitors a simple way to judge the time a post may take. As they scroll, a progress bar visually marks how far they have moved through the content, making the reading journey easier to follow.

The plugin suits blogs, digital publications, and other sites with articles, tutorials, or text-based content. You can customize the read-time and progress-bar colors, size, position, and style to fit your site's design. Its responsive behavior supports readers using desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones, while translation readiness helps adapt its text for different languages.
