 ### Usage
 See the Optimizely X Full Stack [developer documentation](http://developers.optimizely.com/server/reference/index.html) to learn how to set up your first JavaScript project and use the SDK.
 
-The package's entry point is a CommonJS module, which can be used directly in environments which support it (e.g., Node.js, or loaded in a browser via Browserify or RequireJS). Additionally, you can include a standalone bundle of the SDK in your web page by fetching it from [unpkg](https://unpkg.com/):

-When evaluated, that bundle assigns the SDK's exports to `window.optimizelySdk`. If you wish to use the asset locally (for example, if unpkg is down), you can find it in your local copy of the package at dist/optimizely.browser.umd.min.js.

If you wish to use the asset locally (for example, if unpkg is down), you can find it in your local copy of the package at dist/optimizely.browser.umd.min.js. We do not recommend using this method in production settings as it introduces a third-party performance dependency.
 
 Regarding `EventDispatcher`s: In Node.js and browser environments, the default `EventDispatcher` is powered by the [`http/s`](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html) modules and by [`XMLHttpRequest`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest#Browser_compatibility), respectively. In all other environments, you must supply your own `EventDispatcher`.
