Most if not all of these, come with their retina version too

some css and js files are also included...

What use do these files have?? how could i strip all reference to them if i dont use them?? it seems like elements for videos, and i dont use any videos and my http requests are now 115 so is absolutely critic to low that number

Thanks for your help Air!

    They are part of the plugin - that is all I can tell. I am not author of that ligthbox plugin. You have option in Theme Advanced options to switch it off.

    I can't help you optimize external plugin, even if we deliver it with theme.

    With regards.

    Thanks for info.
    Jackbox was good cause it had social sharing and video support.
    Anyway I will take a look on new version of Fancybox.

    With regards.
