When I check the page code with Firebug, I can see that there are two identical sets <script src="text/javascript"> each containing the same 149 lines of code. Could it be that the second call is causing the site load to slow? If so, how might I go about removing it?

Still making no progress with this issue: javascript call is returning a 404 on siteload. Someone has suggested deleting the existing wp-content folder and replacing it. I have another WordPress site running the same version and could copy this (after backing up the original of course).
Would anyone second this advice?

Disable contact-form-7 plugin.
Clear cache and cookies,
run the test again.

Many thanks for the feedback, and suggestions.
Andrew:
The theme was built by an individual rather than a theme developing company. I have tried running the site with the twenty twelve theme from WordPress, and the issue remains the same. Would this not rule out a theme related conflict?
Bottleneck:
I don’t think this can be contact form related as the issue predates the installation of the contact from 7 plugin, which was only installed and activated yesterday.

May you switch to the Twenty Eleven theme again?

Hi Andrew,
I have just switched the theme, and checked. The error was still there. Then as an after though I cleared the caching plugin. Hey presto, the error is gone. So, it must be theme related after all?

Yes, when your theme was activated, it looked liked a <script> tag was hard-coded into your header.php (or which ever file controls your header scripts) file.
HTML validator was reading this error before you switched the theme
Line 19, Column 43: duplicate specification of attribute "src"
… <script src="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jq…

I think Bottleneck’s identified issue is more urgent to address here, so I’ll wait until he responds.
Hey Andrew.
Sorry for border-crossing with you. I am just your shadow and will stay there. 🙂

Please continue 🙂 You’ve picked up something important that needs addressing.
okay.
Barnez, running through html/php validators which I could think of, ( I even have one on my local machine) would require the tense conversation between us.
May I suggest to address that theme’s issue directly to its developer?
Thank you.

Hi Bottleneck.
Thanks for your advice. Now I know the theme is the origin of this issue, I will go ahead and contact the developer directly as you suggest. I will link to this thread so he can view both your and Andrew’s feedback.
Many thanks to you both.
