Readers bounce
when they can’t see the finish.
Add a read-time badge, a progress bar and a live countdown so visitors know it’s worth their time, and stay to the end.
A visible read time lowers the barrier to begin, and a progress bar creates the pull to finish. Small cues, measurable difference in time on page.
