The target class et_pb_post_content is what is used to designate the post content area in Divi that holds the post content so the code knows the text it needs to count and estimate reading time. For example, if you used body as the target, the code would calculate all content/text on the entire page, not just the content of the article.
The readingTimeTarget is assigned to the class eta which corresponds to the class we added to the span tag in the text module. And the wordCountTarget is assigned to the word-count class we add to the other span tag in the text module.
Also, feel free to update the words per minute value (currently 275) to represent what you think it should be. This will of course affect the reading time displayed. From what I’ve researched, the average adult reads about 300 words per minute. Plus you can always update the language value as well. For example, you can replace ‘en’ for ‘fr’ if you want the text displayed in French). For more info you can check out the documentation on github.
