Scroll to Top Button, Reading Progress Bar, and Read Time Indicator for WordPress.
Uply solves one major problem: Reader Fatigue. Long articles can be overwhelming, but with the right visual cues, you keep users engaged and navigating effortlessly. This plugin brings three essential tools together – a Scroll to Top Button, a Reading Progress Bar, and a Reading Time Indicator – all built for speed and SEO performance.
<h3>1. Advanced Scroll to Top Button</h3>
Add a back-to-top button to your WordPress site in seconds. Give your visitors a smooth and stylish way to return to the top of any page or post.
<ul>
<li>Standard Icon Library: Choose from Arrows, Chevrons, and Circles to match your theme.</li>
<li>Flexible Positioning: Toggle between Left or Right alignment with adjustable bottom margins.</li>
<li>Custom SVG Icon Builder: Upload your own icon and fully customize background colors, borders, and hover effects.</li>
<li>Mobile Visibility Control: Enable or disable the scroll to top button specifically on mobile devices.</li>
<li>58+ Premium Button Designs [PRO]: Unlock a massive library featuring Rocket icons, Paper planes, 3D animated buttons, and unique modern shapes.</li>
<li>10+ Special Progress Buttons [PRO]: A circular or square progress indicator built directly around the back-to-top button, filling up as the user scrolls.</li>
<li>Unique Styles and Fluid Animations [PRO]: Every Pro button comes with stunning animations and designer-grade transitions.</li>
</ul>
<h3>2. Dynamic Reading Progress Bar</h3>
Show a visual reading progress bar at the top or bottom of the screen. Encourage visitors to keep reading and reduce your bounce rate.
<ul>
<li>Sleek Minimalist Styles: Solid, Segmented, or Rainbow progress bars that track scroll position in real-time.</li>
<li>Top or Bottom Positioning: Fix the reading progress bar to the top or bottom of the viewport.</li>
<li>Precision Height and Thickness: Use a range slider to adjust the bar thickness to match your brand.</li>
<li>Intelligent Sticky Offset: Smart offset settings to prevent the progress bar from overlapping sticky headers or menus.</li>

<li>Advanced Unique Designs [PRO]: Eye-catching progress bar designs that instantly elevate your website.</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Smart Reading Time Indicator</h3>
Display an estimated read time on your blog posts and pages. Transparency builds trust and helps readers decide if they have time to read now.
<ul>
<li>Precision WPM Algorithm: Automatically calculates reading time based on a customizable Words Per Minute setting.</li>
<li>Clean Text Layout: Displays a simple “X min read” label before or after your post content.</li>
<li>Dual-Positioning Display: Show reading time Before Content, After Content, or in Both locations at once.</li>
<li>Full Typography and Styling Suite: Control font size, colors, background, padding, and margins – no coding required.</li>
<li>Custom Labels: Set your own Prefix (e.g., “Ready in:”) and Postfix (e.g., “minutes”) text.</li>
<li>25+ Designer Layouts [PRO]: Unique layouts featuring professional icons like Clocks, Books, Hourglasses, and Sand-timers.</li>
<li>Stunning Layout Animations [PRO]: Animated entry and hover effects for the reading time badge.</li>
</ul>
<h3>4. Intelligent Targeting and Performance</h3>
Uply is built for speed and control. It gives you precise tools without sacrificing Core Web Vitals or page performance.
<ul>
<li>Vanilla CSS Animations: No heavy libraries like jQuery UI or GSAP. All animations use optimized CSS for zero performance impact.</li>
<li>Conditional Display Logic: Enable or disable each feature globally or per Post Type (show on Posts, hide on Pages, etc.).</li>
<li>Precise Page Exclusion: Use the built-in search tool to exclude specific pages or posts by ID.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why Choose Uply?</h3>
Whether you use the free version or the PRO version, Uply is engineered to improve your Time on Site and Bounce Rate – two of the most important metrics for SEO and user satisfaction.
