    Time2Read — frequently asked questions.

    What is Time2Read on Shopify?
    Time2Read, officially listed on the Shopify App Store as Time2Read: Read Time Estimator, is a Shopify app in the Blogs category. Readers may be hesitant to commit to a long article, so displaying the estimated read time can reassure them that the time commitment will be shorter than they may have initially thought. Including an estimated read time at the beginning of your blog articles can significantly increasing the time customers spend on your site, increase your pageviews, and reduce your bounce rate!

    Methodology

    Where the numbers come from.

    Ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, “Built for Shopify”, launch date, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
