Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Scroll Progress adds a lightweight bar that helps readers see how far they have progressed through a page or article. Place it at the top, bottom, left, or right of the browser window.

It works immediately after activation and includes:

  • Whole-page or article-only progress
  • Top, bottom, left, or right placement
  • Track color, progress color, and thickness controls with a live preview
  • Optional leading indicator and percentage
  • Automatic WordPress admin-bar spacing and a configurable sticky-header offset
  • Display rules for posts, pages, and public custom post types
  • Per-post controls to show or hide the bar
  • Optional mobile visibility
  • Optional hiding of the browser’s native scrollbar while the bar is active
  • Automatic updates when content or the viewport changes
  • No visitor tracking, external requests, or frontend dependencies

Existing installations retain their original whole-page behavior until the new display and tracking options are changed.
