How to get page read duration time in AEM?

I want to get page read duration time for aem pages. I am planning to get the total number of words on the page and divide them by 240 to get an approximate page read time. Planning to consider image and video read time, for image it is 7S and for video it is 40s.

I am looking for a solution to get numbers of words on a page. Is there any way in AEM to get this number of words? Basically I need to traverse to all components and get the text and calculate the number of words.

I am not very familiar with Adobe Analytics, but reading the documentation it seems to be a feature:

@mario248 if you are looking for medium style to display read time of a blog/article, I would recommend to go with Javascript plugin instead of doing this at AEM, which I feel very cumbersome and unnecessary to reinvent wheel.

    Thanks for your input. I am planning to do this in server side. Is there any utility available for java?

      You should do this via JavaScript in the Frontend.

       

      You can ship that JavaScript code with either Clientlibs or via a ui.frontend module. You can probably find some npm packages to do this for you OOTB. Also note that web analytics tools such as Google Analytics have this built-in.

          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.
