 * Hi,
 * Here is the code I need to add to above the closing tag </head>:
 * `<script src="https://cdn.gravitec.net/storage/xxx/client.js" async></script>`
 * However, after adding the code below, nothing works.
 *     ```
       add_action( 'wp_head', function () { ?>
       <script>
   
       	/* write your JavaScript code here */
       	<script src="https://cdn.gravitec.net/storage/xxx/client.js" async></script>
   
       </script>
       <?php } );
       ```

 * Hey [@legianganh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/legianganh/),
 * The problem here is that you are putting a `<script>` tag inside of an existing`
   <script>` tag. Your code should look more like this:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'wp_head', function () { ?>
   
       	<script src="https://cdn.gravitec.net/storage/xxx/client.js" async></script>
   
       <?php } );
       ```
