详情介绍:
Drops a small "X min read" line above each post on your site. Same little badge Medium uses and most blogs use.
The plugin counts the words, divides by reading speed, prepends the badge above the content. That is the whole thing. No tracking, no upsells, no third-party scripts.
What you can change from Settings, Optic Read-O-Meter:
- Words per minute (default 200, the global newspaper average).
- Style: pill, minimal, dark, outline, or none.
- Icon: clock, coffee, book, or none.
- Colors via the WordPress color picker, plus seven one-click palettes (Emerald, Sky, Rose, Amber, Violet, Slate, Dark).
- Position above, below, or both.
- Separate singular and plural templates, one for "1 minute read" and one for "5 minutes read".
- Optional image time. Each image adds 12 seconds by default, the same convention Medium uses.
- Minimum word count to skip the badge on short posts.
- Which post types get the auto-prepended badge.
[optrom_reading_time], [optrom_reading_time format="badge"], or [optrom_reading_time template="About %s"].
Performance: word and image counts are cached in post meta on save. After that, rendering reads one integer. No external HTTP, no analytics.
For developers, two filters: optrom_words_per_minute to override the WPM per post, and optrom_label to replace the entire label string.
The plugin cleans up after itself. Option and post meta are deleted on uninstall.
安装:
- Upload the
optic-read-o-meterfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install from Plugins, Add New. - Activate.
- Visit Settings, Optic Read-O-Meter to configure.

常见问题:
Can I change the reading speed?
Yes. Set it on the settings page, or hook the optrom_words_per_minute filter for per-post control.
Does it work on pages or custom post types?
Yes. Tick the post types you want on the settings page. The default is posts only. The block and shortcode work everywhere regardless.
Can I hide the badge on a single post?
Yes. Each supported post type has a Reading Time meta box on the editor with a hide toggle and a manual minutes override.
My posts have lots of images. Are they counted?
Off by default. Tick "Count images" on the settings page if you want each image to add a few seconds to the estimate (12 by default, same as Medium).
Does it support non-Latin scripts?
Yes. str_word_count covers most Latin scripts. For CJK and similar, the plugin falls back to a Unicode-aware split.
Does it track visitors?
No. No tracking, no analytics, no external requests.
