人們常常因為擔心閱讀一篇文章需要花費太多時間而跳過閱讀。你也有類似的讀者流失問題嗎？
Read Meter WordPress 外掛可以顯示博客文章的預估閱讀時間以及進度條。它能快速讓瀏覽者瞭解閱讀所需時間，鼓勵他們繼續往下閱讀直到結束。
通常，瀏覽者會在第一眼掃過文章並試著從中獲得盡可能多的資訊。指定文章閱讀所需的時間（以分鐘為單位）可以激勵使用者深入閱讀文章。
一個方便的進度條會顯示讀者在文章中的位置。當讀者滾動頁面時，進度條顯示文章的剩餘部分。這讓讀者知道他們已經閱讀多少、還需要閱讀多少。
此外，外掛使用一種先進的圖像時間計算技術。如果文章包含圖像，外掛會計算查看這些圖像所需的時間。根據這個計算方法，外掛為第一張圖像添加了 12 秒，第二張圖像添加了 11 秒，以此類推，直到第十張圖像。之後，外掛每增加一張圖像就會添加 3 秒。
Read Meter 外掛能快速讓瀏覽者瞭解閱讀所需時間，鼓勵他們繼續往下閱讀直到結束，以下是該外掛的一些主要功能：
一個簡單的短碼 [read_meter] 讓您在任何地方添加閱讀時間。
即使文章更新多次，外掛也會為文章的最新版本計算閱讀時間。
您可以選擇在各種文章類型上顯示閱讀時間和進度條。
您可以決定是否包含圖像和評論在閱讀時間和進度條中。
還不止這些！以下是該外掛更多的閱讀時間控制：

原文外掛簡介
People often skip reading posts with the fear of the time they’ll spend reading it. Are you losing readers too?
The Read Meter plugin displays the estimated reading time for blog posts along with a progress bar. It works great to give visitors a quick idea about the time needed to read a post and encourages them to go on till the end.
Usually, visitors try to scan the entire post at first glance and grasp as much as information possible from the post. Reading time specified in minutes motivates users to read the post.
A handy progress bar will show the reader’s position on the post. As the reader scrolls the page, the progress bar indicates the remaining part of the post. This lets readers know how far have they reached and how much more do they have to go on.

The plugin uses an advanced image time calculation technique. In case your post contains images, the plugin calculates the time to view those images as well. It adds 12 seconds for the first image, 11 seconds for the second image and so on till the 10th image. After that, it adds 3 seconds for each further image.
It works great to give visitors a quick idea about the time needed to read a post and encourages them to go on till the end.
Here are some key features of the plugin –
A simple shortcode – [read_meter], gives you the flexibility to add read time anywhere on the site.
A simple ID attribute to the shortcode can display reading time of that particular post/page irrespective of where the shortcode is added – [read_meter id=47].
Even if the post is updated multiple times, the plugin will calculate the read time for the most recent version of the post.
You can choose to display the read time and a progress bar on various post types.
