General Settings

• Minimum Words Per Minute (min_wpm) — lower reading-speed value used in the average. Range: 50–1000; step: 10; default: 200.
• Maximum Words Per Minute (max_wpm) — upper reading-speed value. Range: 50–1000; step: 10; default: 300. Reversed values are normalized automatically.
• Show in Seconds (show_in_seconds) — displays seconds instead of minutes. Default: No; useful for micro-content.
• Show Progress Bar (show_progress_bar) — loads and displays the fixed reading-progress indicator. Default: Yes.
• Minimum Word Count (minimum_words) — hides ReadTime when content is shorter than this threshold. Range: 0–10000; default: 0.
• Seconds per Image (image_seconds) — adds reading time for each article image. Range: 0–60; default: 0.

The estimate uses the average of Minimum and Maximum WPM, plus the configured image allowance.
