Unknown error in if statement

I get an Unknown error in the if statement in my bash script:

Bash script:

#!/bin/bash

TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H%M")
DAY=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
LUDAY=$(date +"%Y/%m/%d")
LUTIME=$(date +"%H:%M:%S")
mkdir /home/pi/Documents/Webcam/Shots/$DAY
fswebcam -d v4l2:/dev/video0 -r 1720x1280 --no-banner /home/pi/Documents/Webcam/Shots/$DAY/$TIMESTAMP.jpg /home/pi/Documents/Webcam/Shots/Live/Live.jpg
sudo cp /home/pi/Documents/Webcam/Shots/$DAY/$TIMESTAMP.jpg /usr/share/apache2/icons/Live.jpg
timesincelastmod=$(expr $(date +%s) - $(date +%s -r /var/www/html/index.html))
declare -i delay=10
TIMESINCELASTMOD=$(($timesincelastmod+0))
if [$TIMESINCELASTMOD \< $delay]; then
  sed -i -e "s|\(Lastupdate:\).*\(.\)|\1 $LUDAY at $LUTIME (CEST) \2|g" /var/www/html/index.html
else
  sed -i -e "s|\((CEST)\).*\(.\)|\1 - (Failed to upload last photo) \2|g" /var/www/html/index.html
fi

You need spaces around your [ and ].

Why?

[ is a command.

tim@Hairy16:~$ ls /usr/bin
[

Try if [ $TIMESINCELASTMOD \< $delay ]; then

In bash, commands need spaces around them.

Also, you need to use -lt, -gt, -le and -ge instead of the \ before a < or >. they mean Less Than, Greater Than, Less than or Equal to and Greater than or Equal to.
