You say it's freeware, but I get error, and getpagespeed-extras website says there's a monthly fee #8

After installing and enabling getpagespeed-extras, when I try to install anything (like nginx-module-cache-purge), I get an error, which includes this:

"Error importing repomd.xml for getpagespeed-extras-mainline: Damaged repomd.xml file"

Researching, this page says it costs $10/month to get it working (https://www.getpagespeed.com/repo-subscribe). Is it only available by subscription this way? Or how can I fix the issue?

Thanks!

Hi, I have replied here. Updated README here to mention it's not free.

Just for some historical background: it has been free for years, however, not a single soul donated although it has been in use by thousands of servers worldwide. The subscription model was introduced this year to cover at least hosting costs.

Hi Danila! I totally agree with you introducing paid subscriptions since no one cares about your effort. But, if you can accept my remark, the subscription cost is not transparent. I would state clearly the price of the services, if I were you. Now, it looks very shady how it is presented and I would hesitate to go all in... Have a great day!

@Publimix and I actually agree it's shady but haven't found another "good" option than just showing it up on the PayPal page, so I don't have to hardcode the price on many pages, and it's pretty dynamic as I still can't find the best price that suits everyone!

That said, the Fedora repositories (new from this year) are free and not subject to subscription. Please see free repository usage.

Seems to me: IBM / Redhat should pay for this. If IBM is going to charge for Linux, then they should pay for any need repositories.
