Calculating blog post reading time

Zyro website builder follows the example of Medium.com and calculates the read time as follows 👇

Read time is based on the average reading speed of an adult (roughly 265 WPM). Medium takes the total word count of a post and translates it into minutes, with an adjustment made for images. Images add 12 seconds for the first image, 11 seconds for the second image, and minus an additional second for each subsequent image, through the tenth image. Any images after the tenth image are counted at three seconds.
