[Resolved] Unknown script

[Peter]

When loading a website, Google tools is reporting a script loading for http://www.adgjl13.com.

Tech support at my hosting company says ‘According to my Debugger the script 98683.js is generated via the dropdown.js and navigation.js scripts of your activate theme GeneratePress. I would recommend that you contact the developer(vendor) of theme to receive more information for this JavaScript file.’

Could you tell me what it is please, and if it is not necessary, how I can stop it loading

Regards, Peter

Hi there,

There’s no reference to that website in those two files.

You can see them here:
https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/1.4/js/dropdown.js
https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/1.4/js/navigation.js

It’s possible that your installation is hacked, and that someone has injected a call to that site somewhere in your files.

Thanks Tom, I have managed to identify the source of the file. It seems it is a tracking/analytics file inserted by the client.

Good news, glad you found it 🙂
