Template Details
simple-blog-hugo is a Hugo blog theme hosted on GitHub. The repository description reads "A simple blog theme for hugo," and the README title is "simple-hugo." It targets personal blogs built with Hugo and is installed by cloning the theme into the site's themes directory.
For configuration, the README provides a config example: baseURL, languageCode, title, theme, plus main navigation items defined in [menu] (identifier, name, title, url, weight), an Icp filing number field under [params], and social icons configured via the [[params.social]] array (icon, icon_pack, link; the example uses fa-github and fa-weibo). The example language code is zh-cn and the title is SUNTH'S BLOG.
Repository information shows the last update was in 2018 and the star count is 0. The README does not describe template structure, content types, pagination, SEO, comments, or other specific features, nor does it state a compatible Hugo version range, so those aspects should be verified against the actual repository code.

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.
