How to get page read duration time in AEM?
The average time on the page is available with AA. This would help If you are planning to do offline analysis but not for runtime.

Option 1:
I would recommend if functionality is really needed, why not assign a time unit "T" for each word/Alphabet and calculate the estimated time required to read by multiplying T by the number of words. I know this is an approximation value to the original Question.
Option 2:
Use AA to capture the time on the page. And Weekly/Biweekly use this value from AA and insert this into the AEM system.
Option3:
You have to build the whole custom logic for this. You can implement the average time spent on a page without using a dedicated analytics tool, although it will require more custom development work. Here is an alternative approach using JavaScript and a server-side logic:
-
Client-Side JavaScript:
First, you'll need to track user interactions on your blog post pages using client-side JavaScript. You can do this by creating a custom script to record the time a user spends on a page and send this data to your server. Here's a simplified example:
// JavaScript on your blog post pages let startTime = new Date().getTime(); // Listen for the 'unload' event to track when the user leaves the page window.addEventListener('beforeunload', function () { let endTime = new Date().getTime(); let timeSpentOnPage = (endTime - startTime) / 1000; // in seconds // Send the timeSpentOnPage to your server via an HTTP request fetch('/track-time', { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify({ page: 'blog-post-slug', timeSpent: timeSpentOnPage }), headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, }); }); -
Server-Side Code:
On your server, you need to handle the incoming data from the client and store it in a data structure like a database or a memory cache. You'll also calculate the average time spent on each blog post page.
-
Displaying Average Time:
Finally, you can retrieve the average time spent on each blog post page by making a request to the API endpoint and displaying it on your webpage.
You have to adapt this Logic to accommodate this within the AEM. But, do retrospect do you want to implement this on your own or
