As we all know, building traffic and getting a constant flow of new visitors isn't easy at all.

And that's the smallest problem ...

Why?

Because, users spend only a couple of seconds on a webpage before deciding whether to stay or leave!

In other words, you'll have to anyhing and everything you can to keep them on your site, and more than that, to keep them engaged ... And there are countless ways: interactive images, inline related posts, eye-catchy image galleries, interesting and helpful videos, etc.

Now, the thing is that keeping your readers engaged could be really challenging when you have long posts ... On the other hand, we all know, that long form articles usually will perform better ...

The solution?

A nice, simple progress reading bar enhancement at the top (or at the bottom) of your post. A bar that shows how much more of the article is left to scroll. It will encourage your readers to scroll down and it also motivates users to finish the post they are reading

So I've decided to create this short tutorial where I will show you how easy is to display a neat reading progress indicator in your Wordpress posts.

Interested?

Let's do this!

Thank you for another educational class. I'm trying to keep the plugins number at the minimum from the reasons we all know. I wonder if the progress bar can be implemented using some code. Do you have any knowledge in this direction?

Thank you,
Maria

Hi Maria,

I'm sure that there is a way to implement something similar with a code if somebody has strong coding skills ... After all the plugin itself is nothing else, but a code ... But I can't help you with that :(

Regarding the number of your plugins, you might want to see this ...
