    Hi Please let a human check this

    My competitor uses Yoast and on each page it sais the estimat of the time to read acording to the word count

    In my website using Rankmath all the pages say “less than a minut”.

    On each page I can see the wordpress word count gives a different estimate such as
    417 words, 2 minutes read time.

    Hi thanks for the answer, there is no other way without a plugin for the code?

    Hello,

    No, unfortunately, this can only be changed by adding a custom filter to change the number of words per minute to increase or decrease that value.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Hello,

    Currently, our plugin is unable to calculate the correct time to read the Hebrew language content. We have informed the developers and will let you know once we fix this.

    For now, you can disable the Slack Enhanced Sharing option in WP Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Titles & Meta > Posts to remove the tag.

    Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else in the meantime.

    Thank you.
