Description

Reading Time is a WordPress plugin that adds a sleek reading progress bar to posts and pages. As visitors scroll through an article, the bar shows how far they’ve come, making long content feel more predictable and less overwhelming. It helps solve a common engagement problem: readers may abandon lengthy pages because they can’t easily gauge how close they are to finishing.

Designed with a lightweight footprint, Reading Time integrates smoothly with typical WordPress themes. The mobile-friendly indicator supports modern devices, while also offering broad browser compatibility, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE8+.
