TDD Progress Bar allows you to track the progress of multiple projects. Actually, as many as you’d like. A cool feature is the ability to “race” multiple projects at once. Progress bars are managed in the admin side and displayed using shortcode. Oh, and did I mention it has a very pretty animation?
<h3>Usage</h3>
In the menus, you’ll see a new menu for “Progress Bars” which is what you’ll use to add and manage progress bars. There’s also an area here for settings, but honestly if you never touch them, things will work fine.
After configuring a progress bar, insert it anywhere you’d like with shortcode.
<ul>
<li>Simple example: <code>[progress id=32]</code></li>
<li>Race multiple bars: <code>[progress id=32,35,54]</code></li>
<li>Set the bar’s width: <code>[progress ids=12,33 width="25%"]</code></li>
<li>Set the height of the bar `[progress ids=12 height=”50px”]</li>
<li>Align Center: <code>[progress ids=4 width="50%" class="aligncenter"]</code></li>
</ul>
Note that “id” and “ids” are interchangeable
Or use the widget which allows you to pick bars to display

A very unobtrusive and light-weight reading progress bar indicator showing the user how far scrolled through the current post or page they are. You can control placement and color of the progress bar, and you can choose whether it includes just the main content or also the comments.
The progress bar only displays once the user begins scrolling the page so it is as unobtrusive as possible. Once the user stops scrolling or scrolls down past the content the progress bar subtly mutes until it is needed again.
There is also a reading time commitment feature that you can separately enable. Control the placement (above or below title, or above content), style, and whether it displays on posts and/or pages. Uses 200wpm as the metric for average reading time.
You can also place the time commitment label anywhere you want via the [wtr-time] shortcode.

Looks very promising, but on my site, nothing was added.

Absolutely does not anything :(

An adjustable progress meter showing how much of the post/page the user has scrolled through, and a read time commitment label near the post titles.
