💡 Why Your Readers Need a Progress Bar
Over 70% of web visitors abandon long-form articles simply because they cannot gauge how much content is left. A dynamic scroll-progress bar sets a clear visual milestone, reducing bounce rates and encouraging readers to complete your tutorials, reviews, documentation, and long-form guides.
Unlike bloated multi-purpose plugins that load heavyweight frameworks on every page, CP Dynamic Progress Bar is laser-focused: under 5 KB total footprint, zero jQuery dependencies, and strictly conditional asset loading.
