DOCTYPE not appearing

Hello, just now I was checking this site I made in Wordpress, and noticed that the DOCTYPE declaration was no rendering. I'm not sure what's going on. You can check the site here: http://www.astridasher.com/

My code on header.php is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="no-js" lang="es" >
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

  <?php wp_head(); ?>

Any ideas?

PS: I'm using foundation, if that of any help.

Hey there!

I'm not sure how the wp_head() hook works, but it looks like it's supposed to be inside your document's head tags. Try adding those and see if it works.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>

Edit yeah, the WP Codex for the function says to put it just before the closing head tag.
