A great blog does more than inform—it engages, guides, and keeps your readers coming back. Ahoi Apps: Estimated Read Time empowers Shopify store owners to elevate their blog experience by adding an estimated reading time and a dynamic reading progress bar to each post. This subtle yet powerful enhancement makes your content more user-friendly, improves readability, and keeps your visitors engaged from start to finish.
By showing how long an article will take to read, you help manage your readers' time expectations, reduce bounce rates, and create a more professional blog presentation. The visual progress bar further encourages users to continue reading by showing how far they've come and how much is left—driving deeper content consumption and increasing time-on-site.
Whether you're an experienced content marketer or just starting your Shopify blog, this app offers an easy and effective way to add a polished layer of usability without writing a single line of code.
If your Shopify store includes blog posts—whether you’re sharing tutorials, product guides, behind-the-scenes stories, or educational content—adding an estimated read time helps create a better experience for your readers. The progress bar adds a subtle but powerful UX element that keeps your audience engaged and makes your blog feel more polished and professional.
With more customers expecting a premium reading experience, especially on mobile, giving them a clear idea of how long a post will take to read helps reduce friction and encourages deeper content engagement.
