Questions,
answered straight.
Yes. ReadJutsu works with the WordPress Site Editor (FSE), classic themes, and page builders like Elementor, Bricks and Divi. Minimum requirements are PHP 7.4 and WordPress 6.2. Use PHP 8.x for better performance and security.
Yes, of course! You can enable the reading time badge and the scroll progress bar at the same time, each with its own post types and placement. Together they tell readers how long an article takes and how far they have come.
With ReadJutsu you can: choose between badge styles (pill, minimal, inline), match colors to your brand palette, and position the bar at the top or bottom.
A clear reading-time estimate sets expectations and a progress bar keeps readers engaged — subtle details that make your content stand out.
With ReadJutsu you can fine-tune words-per-minute, include image reading time, and add custom prefix or suffix text to match your tone.
Combine custom colors, badge styles, and bar height or scope to create a reading experience that fits your site and keeps visitors comfortable.
Not at all, let yourself be guided by the various configuration menus. If you have any hesitation or questions, don’t hesitate to consult the documentation or video tutorials.
