LekTrail Reading Tracker

Most websites have no memory. Visitors return and see the same content with no recognition of what they’ve already explored. LekTrail changes that.

For content sites: Show readers which articles they started but didn’t finish, and suggest new content based on their history.

For e-commerce: Display recently viewed products so customers can easily return to items they were considering.

For courses and documentation: Track progress through lessons or guides, showing what’s completed and what’s next.

How It Works

LekTrail tracks when visitors scroll through your content:

• Viewed: Posts they started reading
• Completed: Posts they scrolled to the end (configurable threshold)
• Suggestions: Unread posts based on your configuration

The widget displays three sections: „Continue Reading“, „Completed“, and „Suggested Reading“.
