Template Details

srplife_theme is a Hugo theme written by the author for the personal blog srp.life, with the content repository hosted separately at RdrSeraphim/blog. The repository keeps branches for historical versions: the cde branch is the older CDE theme, while the ghost and prometheus branches are earlier Ghost themes. The theme is added via Hugo Modules by running hugo mod add github.com/RdrSeraphim/srplife_theme/v4 inside a Hugo project and setting theme in hugo.toml to the same module path; update it with hugo mod get -u && hugo mod tidy. For local preview, run npm run dev, using the exampleSite directory in the repository as the content source, and view the result at http://localhost:8787. The repository does not provide more detailed feature documentation; the theme's styling and page structure should be judged from the actual code and the demo site.

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.

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.
