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

Easy Reading Progress Bar adds a sleek, customizable progress bar to your single post pages, providing readers with a visual indicator of their progress as they scroll through an article. It’s designed to be feather-light, incredibly fast, and compatible with the vast majority of WordPress themes, including modern Block Themes and popular classic themes.

Key Features:

  • Extremely Lightweight: No extra CSS or JavaScript files loaded. All code is inlined and optimized for performance.
  • Highly Compatible: Works seamlessly with many themes.
  • Customizable: Easily change the progress bar’s color and position (top or bottom of the page) from a simple settings page.
  • Dependency-Free: The frontend script does not rely on jQuery, ensuring it won’t conflict with other plugins or slow down your site.
  • Developer Friendly: Includes a filter ( erpb_bar_height ) to programmatically change the bar’s height.
