The mobile menu and normal menu are both displayed in the source instead of one from an seo point of view,

To avoid this an ajax call should fetch the apropriate page/portion of code when clicking on the td-top-mobile-toggle ( and not just toggle a class to make it appear on not )

Actually, the toggle is fine for SEO purposes as Bootstrap uses this, as do many WordPress sites including WP VIP sites; so not a huge hairy deal since they fall under a “menu” class. We’ve had no SEO problems with that on our sites.

Just an opinion.

Arguably adding “rel=nofollow” to the mobile menu might be good solution if that was your concern.

BTW: if you use Google’s “fetch as Google” you will see “what the spider sees” — where they look at the rendered page, and are not stressing about informal code not rendered on page.
