So, I disabled fluidbox in my functions php since I want a user to go to the image attachment when clicked and not be forced to see the image in a lightbox. Worked like a dream. I deregistered the script using…
wp_deregister_script( 'fluidbox' );

There was a couple unexpected results…
1. Bad – Read times disappeared. I kind of liked that and would like it back. I am prepared to go without though.
2. Good – My homepage size got considerable smaller. I can only assume that when it calculated the read time with the [latest_from_the_blog] shortcode, it somehow loaded the images on those pages.

Is it possible to disable just the lightbox functionality?

Hi, can you provide your url?

Hi, again you can disable fluidbox plugin, edit js/main.js and find line : 123, and comment that line;

$('a[rel="lightbox"], .format-gallery .gallery a, .entry-content > p a, .wp-caption a, .r-gallery-single .media-box a').fluidbox();

to

//$('a[rel="lightbox"], .format-gallery .gallery a, .entry-content > p a, .wp-caption a, .r-gallery-single .media-box a').fluidbox();

That worked, but as you can see… fluidbox (I’m pretty sure it is the culprit) is still loading the images from linked posts when determining the “Read Time”. In this case thats about 300k on a 800k page. It will get considerably worse as I start to add additional articles.
