Read Time

Read Time is a Craft CMS plugin that calculates the estimated read time for your content. It counts every custom field on an entry, including nested Matrix, Content Block, Neo, Vizy and CKEditor content, and returns a human-readable duration in Twig or GraphQL.

Features

• Read time for any content — a readTime() Twig function for a whole entry, and a |readTime filter for any string or value.
• Walks your field layout — counts the title and every custom field on an entry, recursing through nested blocks automatically and skipping non-text fields.
• Nested field support — Matrix, Content Block, Neo, Vizy, and CKEditor (including embedded entries), the plugins as optional soft dependencies.
• GraphQL ready — a readTime field on entry types, resolving from the same service as Twig.
• Accurate counts — HTML markup is stripped before counting, so tags and URLs don't inflate estimates.
• Multi-site aware — pin the human-readable output to each site's own language, or force one locale everywhere.
• Configurable — reading speed, output locale, and a minimum read time, all overridable per environment.
