## Description

The **Reading Time Block** plugin calculates and displays an estimated reading time
based on the post content.

It uses a configurable reading speed (default: 200 words per minute) and outputs
a clean, server-rendered block to the frontend.

This is ideal for blogs, documentation, or any content where you want to set expectations
about how long it will take a visitor to read the page.

#### Features

 * Adds a block to the Gutenberg editor for reading time.
 * Automatically calculates based on post content.
 * Supports customizable reading speed (WPM) via **Settings  Reading**.
 * Lightweight and fast—no JS build step required.
 * Fully translatable and namespace-isolated.

### License

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/reading-time-block/` directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress plugin screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
 3. Open a post in the block editor and insert the **Reading Time** block from the **
    Widgets** category.
 4. Adjust the reading speed (optional) by visiting **Settings  Reading**.

## FAQ

### How is the reading time calculated?

The plugin counts the number of words in the post content and divides by the configured
reading speed in words per minute (WPM). It then rounds up to the nearest minute
if necessary.

### Can I change the reading speed?

Yes. You can adjust the reading speed via a numeric input or preset values in **
Settings  Reading**.

### Does this plugin require JavaScript building or Node.js?

No, the block is written in plain JavaScript and PHP, so there’s no build step or
asset compilation required.
