Readlyte – Reading Time Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Readlyte estimates how long it will take a visitor to read a post, based on its word count and a configurable words-per-minute rate, and displays it as a small badge.
Features
- Automatic display before or after post content — no template edits required.
[rdlt_reading_time]shortcode for manual placement, including[rdlt_reading_time id="123"]for another post.- A “Reading Time (Readlyte)” Gutenberg block, server-rendered so it always matches your current settings.
- An Elementor widget (when Elementor is active), with per-instance overrides for words-per-minute/text/icon and full Style tab controls (color, typography, icon gap).
- Configurable words-per-minute, display text (
{time}/{unit}placeholders), and which post types it applies to. - Word count strips HTML tags, shortcodes, and block-editor comments so the estimate reflects visible text only.
- Theme-friendly: styled entirely with CSS classes and custom properties (
--rdlt-color,--rdlt-icon-color,--rdlt-font-size,--rdlt-gap), so a theme can restyle the badge from its own stylesheet. - Developer filters:
rdlt_word_count,rdlt_calculated_read_time,rdlt_read_time_text,rdlt_read_time_icon.
