Template Details
Gray is a single-column theme for Jekyll, positioned for personal websites, blogs, and portfolios. The README states that it provides a portfolio page, a blog page, and a tag page, and includes a sitemap, robots.txt, an Atom feed, and a JSON feed. It also claims SEO optimization and HTTP security response headers. For styling, it uses inline CSS and minifies CSS and HTML; the theme describes itself as under 3 KB.
The theme uses a responsive layout, and the repository includes screenshots of the desktop homepage, mobile homepage, and inner pages, which can be used to judge the actual layout. The code is released under the MIT license, allowing use, modification, commercial use, and distribution, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification. Lighthouse, Gmetrix, and Webpagetest scores mentioned in the README are the author's own claims and were not reproduced or verified in this material.

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 Jekyll 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.
