Kadence Reading Time

Readers can see an estimated reading duration before getting into a post. Kadence Reading Time calculates this estimate automatically, so you do not have to work out and enter a reading time for each piece of content. It is suited to blogs and publishing sites that want to give visitors a quick sense of how long a post may take to read.

Set a words-per-minute value for the calculation, then choose how reading time appears on individual posts. You can hide the estimate or override it with a post-specific setting. The plugin also works with Kadence WP themes, making it a fit for site owners and publishers building with Kadence.
