Init Reading Position – Remember, Return, Continue

Init Reading Position enhances the reading experience by remembering how far a visitor has read on a post. When they return, it automatically scrolls back to where they left off.

Perfect for:

• Long-form articles
• Tutorials or guides
• Web novels or manga
• Any content where readers often stop and come back later

This plugin is part of the Init Plugin Suite — a collection of minimalist, fast, and developer-focused tools for WordPress.
