An insanely fast and performance-based Zola theme, forked from lightspeed which is ported from Light Speed Jekyll.
Some fun facts about the theme:
- Perfect score on Google's Lighthouse audit
- Only ~700 bytes of CSS
- No JavaScript
- Now with SEO!
Demo: Myblog
First download this theme to your themes
directory:
$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/kirovj/lightspeed.git
and then enable it in your config.toml
:
theme = "lightspeed"
Posts should be placed directly in the content
folder.
To sort the post index by date, enable sort in your index section content/_index.md
:
sort_by = "date"
Set a title and description in the config to appear in the site header:
title = "Different strokes"
description = "for different folks"
Set a field in extra
with a key of footer_links
:
[extra]
footer_links = [
{url = "$BASE_URL/about", name = "About"},
{url = "$BASE_URL/atom.xml", name = "RSS"},
{url = "https://google.com", name = "Google"},
]
If you put $BASE_URL
in a url, it will automatically be replaced by the actual
site URL.
Create pages such as $BASE_URL/about
by placing them in a subfolder of the content directory, and specifying the path in the frontmatter:
path = "about"
Most SEO tags are populated by the page metadata, but you can set the author
and for the og:image
tag provide the path to an image:
[extra]
author = "Grant Green"
ogimage = "Greenery.png"
By default the footer provides links to Zola and Netlify, and a tagline of "Maintained with ❤️ for the web". To disable any of those parts, and/or add a custom tagline of your own, the following options are available:
[extra]
zola = true
netlify = false
maintained_with_love = false
footer_tagline = "What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet."
Styles are compiled from sass and imported inline to the header ⚡
You can overide the styles by enabling sass compilation in the config:
compile_sass = true
...and placing a replacement style.scss
file in your sass folder.
This template is based on lightspeed by carpetscheme which is based on the Jekyll template Light Speed Jekyll by Bradley Taunt.
