The plugin detects structure in your content and intelligently reduces the estimate — labelled „AI-adjusted“ so readers know. **Per-post overrides via meta box** Override the calculated reading time for any post. Hide the badge or progress bar per-post, right from the editor. **Accessibility-first design** – Semantic `role="progressbar"` with live `aria- valuenow` updates – Meaningful `aria-label` on every element – Keyboard-focusable progress bar – Fully respects `prefers-reduced-motion` – Screen-reader-friendly badge with word count in ARIA label **Minimal & performant** – No jQuery dependency (vanilla JS) – No external assets, fonts, or CDN calls – No database writes beyond settings – No user tracking whatsoever– ~1.5 KB JS / ~1.2 KB CSS (gzipped) **Elementor Widget included** – Drag and drop the Reading Time widget directly in Elementor – Full widget controls for badge display and styling – Works seamlessly with Elementor’s responsive settings **Developer-friendly** – Template tags: `rte_the_reading_time()`, `rte_get_reading_time()`– Filters: `rte_badge_html`, `rte_show_badge`, `rte_ai_adjustment_factor` – CJK (Chinese/ Japanese/Korean) content support – Per-post type configuration #### 📐 Settings * Custom WPM (words per minute) — default 238 * Enable/disable AI-assisted adjustment * Badge position: before content, after content, or both * Choose which post types show the badge and/or progress bar * Customise badge label text (use `{time}` placeholder) * Pick progress bar color, height (1–10 px), position (top/bottom) * Optional percentage tooltip on hover * Respect `prefers-reduced-motion` toggle #### 🔧 Template Tags Use in your theme: ``` ``` #### 🪝 Filters **Customise badge HTML:** add_filter( ‚rte_badge_html‘, function( $html, $result){ return $html; }, 10, 2 ); **Disable badge conditionally:** add_filter( ‚rte_show_badge‘, ‚__return_false‘); **Tweak AI adjustment factor (0.75–1.0):** add_filter( ‚rte_ai_adjustment_factor‘, function( $factor, $html ) { return 0.85; }, 10, 2 ); ## Screenshots * [[ * Main Plugin Image * [[ * Main Plugin Settings * [[ * Front-end: Scroll progress bar at bottom of screen and reading time badge below post title * [[ * Elementor Widget with its settings * [[ * Front-end: Elementor widget view in the middle of post ## Installation 1.

Go to **Settings Reading Time** to configure ## FAQ ### Does this plugin use any external services? No. Everything runs locally on your server. No API calls, no tracking. ### Does it work with the Block Editor (Gutenberg)? Yes, fully compatible with both the Block Editor and Classic Editor. ### Can I use it on Pages, not just Posts? Yes. In Settings, check „Page“ under „Show badge on“ and „Show progress bar on“. ### Does it support WooCommerce products or custom post types? Yes. Any public post type will appear in the settings checkboxes. ### What does „AI-assisted adjustment“ mean? The plugin analyses your post’s structure (heading density, list ratio, average paragraph length). If it detects highly structured, scannable content, it applies a small reduction factor (up to 25% faster). No external AI service is used — it’s a smart local heuristic. ### How can I override the reading time for a specific post? Open the post in the editor. Find the **Reading Time** meta box in the sidebar. Enter a number (in minutes) to override the auto-calculated value, or leave it blank to use auto. ### Can I hide the badge/progress bar for one post only? Yes. Use the checkboxes in the **Reading Time** meta box. ## Rezensionen ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2fa9ea7bf364863f5f09779388cd84f146d558a56667aa12b86f3b2c1c408bd7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-7297/)󠁿 [haroondev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/haroondev/) 23.
