That is a cache file (normally a good thing). The template you are using has an extension included which will combine/compress js/css files.

Built-in Gantry RokGZipper to compress and combine Gantry JS and CSS files

If you don't want your js/css files compressed/combined try looking for a caching option in the template parameters or in the plugin manager. More info can be found on the extension here:

The cache option can make your site load faster. It is not related to SEO. For more info:

Or type "Joomla cache" in Google and you'll find loads of information to read.

Thanks for that. I have had so many odd urls lately caused by plugins etc and i have been doing 301 redirects to gradually fix them.

It's best to leave the caching feature on in Joomla, or you might soon experince poor loading speed. Try not to disable caching.

No, the script is loading in the header and contains js code so it won't get indexed anyway. If the link appears in webmasters tools, you could consider adding the nofollow attribute to the link.

Unfortunately it is being indexed. When you do a site:statewidecarpetcleaners.com.au search in google it appears in the indexed pages.
