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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Stuff & Things Reading Estimate version 1.0.0 as active, updated 20d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Stuff & Things Reading Estimate adds a small, unobtrusive “X min read” estimate to your posts so readers know what they’re getting into.
Automatically shown before or after the content on single posts — your choice.
Or turn automatic display off and place it exactly where you want with the [reading_time] shortcode.
Set your own reading speed (words per minute) and label (e.g. %s min read, About %s minutes ).
That’s the whole plugin. No accounts, no upsells, no external services, nothing phoned home. The estimate is calculated on your server from the post’s word count.
How the estimate works
Word count = the post content with HTML and shortcodes stripped, divided by your words-per-minute setting, rounded up (minimum 1 minute).

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
