Reading Time – Reading Progress Bar for WordPress

Long posts and in-depth pages can make it hard for readers to tell how much content remains. This plugin displays a progress bar that moves as readers scroll, showing how far they have gone through a post or page. The visual indicator gives readers a simple reference point as they move through the content.

Site owners can choose from eight styles and adjust the bar’s color, height, and position to fit the site’s design. The bar can be limited to selected pages or posts, so it appears where it is useful. Its responsive design supports desktop, tablet, and smartphone screens.
