## Açıklama

Article Read Time is a lightweight and customizable WordPress plugin that automatically
calculates and displays the estimated reading time for posts and pages.

Adding reading time to your articles improves user experience, increases engagement,
and helps visitors quickly decide whether they have enough time to read your content.
Many modern blogs, news websites, and online magazines display reading time to enhance
readability and reduce bounce rates — and now you can easily add this feature to
your WordPress site.

The plugin calculates the total word count of your post content (excluding HTML 
and shortcodes) and estimates the reading duration based on your configured Words
Per Minute (WPM) setting. You can fully control how the reading time appears using
custom formatting options.

words-per-minute value.
