# How do I fix a double installation?

**What does it mean if tracking loads twice?**

Usually the snippet is installed in addition to a GTM tag. Metrunio catches this: the second load hands over to the tracking that is already running, so nothing counts twice and no call is lost. Remove one of the two anyway and clear the cache; if they name different websites, Metrunio only measures for the one that loads first.

1. Check whether the snippet is installed in addition to the GTM tag.
2. Remove one of the two.
3. Clear the cache of your website, and of your CDN.
4. Reload your website: DOUBLE_INIT no longer appears in the browser console.

> **Caution:** If both installations name the same website, there is still only one tracking, with the settings of the one that loads first; of the second installation’s settings, Metrunio only adopts a consent decision included in it. If they name a different website or a different write key, Metrunio measures only with the one that loads first and takes nothing from the second. Which one loads first depends on the loading order. In both cases the console reports DOUBLE_INIT and names settings that do not apply. If the snippet still contains the placeholder YOUR_WRITE_KEY, it does not start at all, and the GTM tag measures on its own.
