PaperMod is a fast, minimal-yet-featureful theme for the Hugo static site generator, aimed at blogs, documentation sites, and personal pages. It focuses on clean typography, responsive layouts, and sensible defaults, while exposing a large set of front-matter and config options. Built-in features include dark/light modes, archive and taxonomy views, reading-time indicators, breadcrumbs, and an optional profile/landing layout. Client-side search, code highlighting, social links, and comment integrations can be enabled with simple configuration, avoiding custom JavaScript for most needs. The theme ships with SEO-friendly meta tags, Open Graph/Twitter cards, and RSS feeds to improve discoverability. Because it’s engineered for speed—lean HTML, minimized assets, and Hugo’s native rendering—it delivers excellent performance scores out of the box.

Features

  • Default uses Hugo’s asset pipeline: bundling, minification, fingerprinting
  • Offers three display modes: Regular, Home-Info, and Profile
  • Auto-generated table of contents and post archive
  • Supports light/dark themes including automatic switching based on browser preferences
  • Built-in SEO optimization, multilingual support, search (via Fuse.js), breadcrumbs, social icons/sharing, author profiles
  • No Node.js or Webpack needed—purely Hugo-based, easy to edit
