Also, in that setting, if you select "shadowbox (embedded)", then HikaShop won't load the javascript and CSS of shadowbox from our CDN but will suppose that you have it included in your template (or by other means, like a module or a plugin). Then, you're free to compress it anyway you want on your website.
