ReadTrack is a lightweight plugin that improves the user experience by displaying: 
– ⏱️ Estimated reading time based on post word count 
– 📊 A visual progress bar that fills as the reader scrolls
You can fully customize the text shown before the post using a settings page in the WordPress admin panel. The default template is:
<pre><code>⏱️ Estimated reading time: %minutes% min
</code></pre>
Simply place <code>%minutes%</code> in your message to dynamically show the calculated reading time.
New in version 1.2: 
– The plugin now uses the WordPress database (via <code>get_option()</code> / <code>update_option()</code>) instead of saving configuration to a file in the plugin folder. 
– This ensures full compatibility with WordPress.org guidelines and multisite installations.
