It adds almost nothing to your pages, and the extras only load when you actually use them. Many visitors decide whether to read a post in the first second, and a long wall of text scares them off. Telling them “only 4 minutes to read” sets expectations, and a progress indicator keeps them moving — so more people finish your posts. #### Why people choose ReadyGo Reading Time * **Light and fast.** Built to stay out of the way and keep your pages loading quickly. It adds almost nothing to a normal page, and extras like the progress bar only load where you use them. * **Gets the time right.** Long posts won’t show a silly “1 minute read.” It correctly counts content from page builders (Elementor, Divi), block editors, and other languages. * **Plays nicely with caching.** It does its work when you save a post, so it keeps your site fast and works with caching plugins out of the box. * **A progress bar or a circle.** Add a slim bar at the top or bottom of the screen, or a small circle in a corner — so readers can see how far they’ve come. * **A live countdown.** A little “3 min left” that counts down as people scroll— a friendly nudge to keep reading to the end. * **No clutter.** No ads, no nags, no tracking, and it never gets in the way of your menu. #### Show it wherever you want * Automatically above your content, or above/below the title. * With a shortcode — `[readygo_reading_time]` anywhere, or `[readygo_reading_time id="47"]` for a specific post. * As a block you can drop into the editor. #### Easy options (no code needed) * Show it on posts, your blog page, and archive pages — and pick which post types. * Choose your reading speed (words per minute). * Add the time to look at images and/or read comments. * Add your own wording before and after the time (e.g. “Reading time:” … “min read”). * Style it: text size, spacing, background and text color, and an optional clock icon. #### Progress bar / circle options * Bar (top or bottom) or a circle (any corner). * Solid or gradient colors, and how thick the bar is. #### Countdown options * Put it in any corner, with your own wording (use `{n}` for the minutes left) and a “finished” message. #### For developers * `readygo_countable_content` — add text from page builders, ACF, or custom fields to the word count. * `readygo_display_text` — customize the displayed reading-time string. * Lightweight by design: roughly 0.4 KB of CSS and no JavaScript on a normal page, with no jQuery dependency. The progress bar/countdown assets (~6 KB, vanilla JS) load only where enabled. Everything runs on your own site — no accounts, no outside services, no data collection. #### More from ReadyGo Tools Built by [ReadyGo Tools](https://readygotools.com/).

No wizard, no account, nothing to configure to get started. 1. In your dashboard, go to **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**, choose the plugin’s zip file, and click **Install Now**. (Or upload the `readygo-reading-time` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.) 2. Click **Activate**. 3. That’s it — the reading time appears on your posts right away. To fine-tune it, go to **Settings RGT Reading Time**. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Will it slow my site down? No — that’s the whole point. It’s built to be very light, does its calculating when you save a post, and only loads the progress bar/countdown on the pages where you switch them on. ### Why do other plugins show “1 minute” on long posts? They miss text added by page builders. ReadyGo Reading Time reads that content correctly, so the time is accurate. (Developers can also feed in custom text with the `readygo_countable_content` filter.) ### Does it work with caching plugins? Yes, out of the box. It stores the reading time when you save, so your cached pages stay fast. ### How do I show a bar or a circle? On the **Progress Bar** tab, turn it on and pick Bar or Circle, then choose its position and colors. ### Can I show how much time is left to read? Yes. On the **Time Left** tab, turn on the countdown — it shows the minutes left and counts down as the reader scrolls. ### How do I place the reading time myself? Set the position to “Off” and use the `[readygo_reading_time]` shortcode or the Reading Time block wherever you like. ### Does it send my data anywhere? No. It makes no outside connections and collects no data. ## Comentarios Non hai recensións para este plugin. ## Colaboradores e desenvolvedores “ReadyGo Reading Time” é un software de código aberto.
