Reading time

How the reading time for an article is calculated? I have been using a plugin that calculated it until last update add the options for itself. But it seems the estimated reading time NOW is so high. Like the reader is the slowest reader in the world hahahaha. It doesn´t matter too much, but I think you have to improve this option.

Hello,

The function for reading time is the implementation to take the number of words and then divide them by 200 -> https://i.imgur.com/sxDPLIU.png
If you have some suggestions on how to make it better, please let us know.

Thank you!

Understood, it could be a good idea to add an option to choose the average words per minute between “average reader (200-250 wpm)” o “advanced reader” (300+ wpm). But its ok, I think my last “reading time plugin” used 250 so thats why in long reviews now we have 2-3 more minutes than before. Many thanks.
