    First off, I’m a newb…I apologise in advance if I ask/do something stupid.

    I have just taken over WordPress and Webmaster duties to help a buddy out who’s in a bind over a little host/webmaster and him parting ways. (At least I can work a keyboard…which is a bit beyond him.)

    I notice he has a slew (70) of broken links all pointing to apparently the same site.

    When I view the broken link detail it tells me (I’ll spare the whole thing):

    <link rel=’dns-prefetch’ href=’//www.google.com’ />
    <link rel=’dns-prefetch’ href=’//moz.com’ />
    <link rel=’dns-prefetch’ href
    Link is broken.

    When I check the viewsource of all the pages throwing this broken link, I see that the one following moz.com on the dns-prefetch list is always:
    <link rel=’dns-prefetch’ href=’www.zippy.co.uk’ />

    I am assuming, that zippy link is the culprit.

    So I did some web searches and find that dns-prefetch is usually in the Theme functions.php file.

    Unfortunately, I’ve been through every php file in the Theme directory and found no dns-prefetch entries…let alone the zippy.co.uk one that seems to be throwing the broken link error.

    So can anyone give me a clue where to look to find dns-prefetches other than function.php of a Theme?

    Thanks in advance.
