What it does
Long articles on mobile can feel endless when readers have no sense of where they are. This extension solves that with a simple visual cue at the top of your AMP content. The bar fills as the reader scrolls, giving real-time feedback about their position in the article. It works within AMP, so your mobile-optimized pages keep their AMP format while gaining a clear indicator of reading progress.
Setup is light. Once the extension is active, you switch the progress bar on from the addon panel, and it then appears automatically on all posts and pages in AMP mode. No coding is needed, so it suits site owners at any skill level. The bar is responsive and adapts to desktop and mobile screens, which makes it a good fit for blogs, news sites and other content-heavy sites running AMP.
Best for
- Blogs serving long-form posts through AMP
- News and magazine sites with mobile readers
