      Hi mozzers,

      I am running an audit and I noticed that the nav is appearing twice in the code (can't see it on the Text version). When looking closely at the code there is an Item called Menu (screenshot2  attached) pointing to www.example.com/#mobile-menu that is right in between both main menus.

      I am assuming that the second nav is for the mobile version? Is this normal to display it this way or not? If it is why is it displayed so?

      Thanks!

        Hi Taysir,

        I can only assume because you didn't include the actual site. But it looks like that one is indeed the mobile site and is using the second menu to serve users on mobile. It's not the best way out there as you could perfectly use the same menu on mobile as well. Probably it won't get you into deep trouble anyway.
