Template Details
Parsa is a Hugo theme maintained by gethugothemes, positioned as a personal blog and also usable for portfolio websites. The theme provides 8+ pre-built pages covering common structures such as multiple homepages, about, contact, blog list and detail, and category and tag pages. Functionally, it includes Fuse.js search, a contact form, an Instagram feed, GDPR consent, reading time calculation, a masonry layout, and both multi-author and single-author modes. The theme uses Hugo Pipes to bundle CSS and JS, comes with a preconfigured Netlify setup, and outputs Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags. Content can be visually edited via Sitepins (a Git-based headless CMS). The code is MIT licensed, but third-party assets such as demo images require separate license verification.

License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version in the public repository under the MIT license; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- You may use, modify, commercially use, and distribute this version's code for free.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- Demo images are for display only and have their own licenses; the project has no right to share these images. Therefore, demo images cannot be considered licensed together with the MIT code, and you must verify and obtain the appropriate asset licenses before commercial use or redistribution.
- Visual content editing relies on the third-party Sitepins headless CMS service, which requires registration and use of its external service and may involve an account, API key, or paid plan; this is not a feature of the theme code itself.
- Google Analytics support requires integrating Google's external analytics service and configuring the corresponding account and tracking identifier, which is an external service dependency.
- The contact form requires an external form-handling service or backend endpoint to actually send and receive email; the theme itself does not provide a working form backend.
- The Instagram feed requires connecting to the official Instagram API and configuring access credentials, subject to third-party platform terms and quotas.
- The preconfigured deployment setup targets the Netlify platform; actual publishing requires using that external hosting service and complying with its terms of service and fee policies.
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
- External services such as domain, hosting, database, payment, or AI may incur additional charges.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
What to verify for this project
- Repository update recorded

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Hugo as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
