Kadence Reading Time

Readers often decide within seconds whether an article is worth their time. Without a clue about length, some leave before they begin. Kadence Reading Time answers that question up front by displaying an estimated reading time on your blog posts and pages. You do not have to count words or type a figure into each post.

The estimate comes from a words-per-minute setting that you control globally, so the numbers match the pace you expect from your audience. When a particular post needs different treatment, you can hide the reading time or override it through meta settings. The plugin works with Kadence WP themes and needs no coding to configure, which makes it a fit for bloggers, content marketers and publishers on those themes.

Features

• Automatic reading time: The plugin works out the reading duration for each post by itself, so you never have to estimate or enter the time by hand.
• Global words-per-minute setting: Set one words-per-minute value for the whole site. Every estimate is calculated from it, which keeps the figures consistent across your content.
• Display at the top of posts: The estimated reading time appears at the top of your content, giving visitors a quick sense of the time needed before they read on.
• Hide it on specific posts: Meta settings let you turn the reading time off for individual posts where it does not suit the layout or the content.
• Override per post: You can personalize the reading time on a single post through its meta settings, instead of relying on the calculated value.
• Works with Kadence WP themes: The plugin is built to work with Kadence WP themes, so the reading time fits the design you already use.
• Compatible with StellarSites hosting: Kadence Reading Time works with StellarSites hosting, which helps site builders and managers who run their projects there.
• Setup without coding: Configuration is simple and needs no coding knowledge, so you can set the words-per-minute value and move on to your content.
