Why showing reading time improves engagement

Articles that display reading time upfront have measurably lower bounce rates. Readers self-select — if they have 3 minutes they'll start a 3-minute article but not a 15-minute one. Knowing the time commitment builds trust and sets expectations. Most blog platforms display reading time automatically, but this tool lets you calculate it manually for any content.

Average reading speeds by context
