INTRODUCTION
Readefined’s tracker can tell if somebody is paying attention to a piece of content, and how intensely. This plugin uses that tech to make sure your comments section is only accessible to readers who paid enough attention. Trolls and knee-jerk commenters will need to properly read your content before they can share their two cents. The plugin is free to use, and you can unlock many additional features at Readefined.com.
Usage Requirements
Your comments section must be wrapped in a parent container with the CSS ID “post-comments” or the CSS class “post-comments”.
Privacy
Due to GDPR, you must first register an account at readefined.com/trollfilter.

The reading progress bar is a great user experience on longreads. Especially if it accurately depicts the reading progress in the article text, and nothing else. This is standard on single blog posts and enabled by default.
Customization:
<ul>
<li>
Location top of screen, bottom of screen or below sticky elements.
</li>
<li>
Select post types you wish the bar to appear, or individual posts.
</li>
<li>
Choose color of the reading progress bar.
</li>
<li>
Have the bar start at 0% even when part of the article is visible.
</li>
</ul>
Behaviour:
<ul>
<li>
The reading progress bar has smooth initializing since part of the text may already be visible, after that a lightweight update-function ensures quick response while scrolling.
</li>
<li>
The bar can attach itself to multiple (sticky) elements that you define as an admin, the first visible element will be used.
</li>
<li>
When there is no (longer a) visible element to attach to, the bar displays at the top.
</li>
<li>
Use <code>dir=rtl</code> on your html tag to have the bar display correctly for right-to-left languages.
</li>
</ul>
Estimated reading time (beta)
Since 1.6.0 this plugin has rudimentary estimated reading time functionality, for when your theme does not support it out of the box. 
There are some potential issues, some of which cannot be fixed in a plugin. If it does not work for you, switch it off. It will have no effect on the plugin then.
This is my 6th WordPress plugin but my first one freely available to everybody. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoy building it!
Regards,
