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, 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 every custom field on an entry, recursing through nested blocks automatically.
• Nested field support — Matrix, Neo, Vizy, and CKEditor (including embedded entries), all 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.
