Updated on 7 April 2025
At the top of Elium Articles, you can see an estimated read time.
The equation used to calculate the read time is as follows:
-
The text content is divided by the average reading speed (240 words per minute).
-
Each asset adds an additional 12 seconds to the estimation.
-
The resulting number is always rounded up to the nearest minute.
ℹ️ Good to know
The badge will only be displayed if the estimated read time is greater than 1 minute.
