Doc type declaration is duplicating

Hi there,

I have a website I've created for a client (CMSMS 2.1.3, running php 5.6.25, apache server, mysql database) which looks good and fine. However, when I look at the source, the Doctype part is duplicated. I fear that this is sabotaging the google search as even when I put in the business name, it doesn't appear.

I tried experimenting and taking it out, putting in something different into the template, all the same thing happens. I would rather not install a new version of CMSMS again to get rid of this bug (if it is that?) as it will take too long.

Any ideas?

The website is: http://www.a1premiumgroup.com.au

Incidentally, I cloned it from my other client's website which I have discovered has the same problem.

Thanks

Posting my own answer - I had my '/' forward slashes in the wrong place on the head and body end ! It's always the little things... If anyone has any SEO suggestions, please let me know.

My suggestion would be adding keywords to your TITLEs:

Code: Select all

<title>A1 Premium Group</title>

Yes, good idea. I'm using a SEO tool to analyse the site. Thanks for that.
