Footnotes

  1. You MAY open an issue on GitHub, but no response and/or fix is guaranteed. You understand that using Jekyll requires technical know-how, and is NOT comparable to Wordpress in terms of usability. Please use the free version to confirm that Hydejack works for you. For more, see the PRO license. ↩

  2. Transactions secured by Stripe. Downloads handled by Simple Goods. ↩ ↩2

  3. Actual page load speed depends on your hosting provider, resolution of embedded images and usage of 3rd party plugins. ↩
