# Google Analytics Code appearing twice

 * Hi,
 * For a few months now I’ve noticed that my bounce rate has fallen dramatically
   and didn’t know why. I didn’t discover any other issues in Google Analytics. 
   However, after reading a little bit more about this and looking at the source
   code of my website I think I have the Google Analytics code appearing twice. 
   The problem is that I don’t know why.
 * I have the following active plugins on my website:
    Akismet, BWP Google XML Sitemaps,
   Google Analytics for WordPress, Jetpack by WordPress.com, nrelate Related Content,
   Sharebar, Smooth Slider, WordPress SEO, Wysija Newsletters
 * Except the obvious one (Google Analytics for WordPress) I don’t remember any 
   of the other asking me for this code and I don’t think I have ever inserted this
   manually on the page either. Any ideas how I can find out what’s happening? My
   website is augmentedtomorrow.com
 * Thanks,
    Daniel

 * You do have it installed 2 times but it is impossible to know why.
 * I would open header.php under Appearance > Editor and see if it is manually entered
   there to start with it.

 * Thank you Aaron. Just had a look in the header.php It was there as well. I have
   removed it and it now appears once but I have another mention above the main 
   code.
 * There is this code at some point in the header:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       	window.google_analytics_uacct = "UA-28075990-1";
       </script>
       ```
   
 * and then there is this code slightly lower down the page:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
       			// Google Analytics for WordPress by Yoast v4.2.8 | http://yoast.com/wordpress/google-analytics/
       			var _gaq = _gaq || [];
       			_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-28075990-1']);
       							_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
       			(function () {
       				var ga = document.createElement('script');
       				ga.type = 'text/javascript';
       				ga.async = true;
       				ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
       				var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
       				s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
       			})();
       			//]]></script>
       ```
   
 * Is it ok to have it like this?
    Thanks again.

 * You can remove the top one or leave it. Doesn’t matter.

 * Isn’t this related to my Google AdSense account and to its integration with Google
   Analytics? I read about it here [http://www.labnol.org/internet/enable-analytics-for-google-adsense/6029/](http://www.labnol.org/internet/enable-analytics-for-google-adsense/6029/)

 * I don’t know for sure so I would just leave it. Wont hurt.
 * Typically when I see those all it does is define the account number that it uses
   throughout the site.
