Description

SJ Reading Time is a simple content read time estimator. Our settings allow you to control how many words per minute (wpm) on average you would like to use to determine read time,
as well as, if images should be part of this estimate.

A shortcode is provided which gives complete control over where on your post you would like the estimate to be placed.

For example:
[sjrt_reading_time label=”Reading time:” postfix=”mins” postfix_singular=”min”]

All the above attributes are optional and if not provided the default values will be shown which are:

  • label – Reading time
  • postfix_singular – min
  • postfix – mins
