Does page speed matter to the search engine ranking of your law firm website?
Turns out it does. Page speed is an important ranking factor for Google and other search engines. It can make the difference between a ranking on page one of Google or somewhere lower.
But many law firm websites are more focused on appearance than speed, to the detriment of their ranking. Slow pages also deter visitors, who may find you in search but then go elsewhere when your site is slow to load.
So what should you know about page speed and your firm’s website? In his article, Why is Page Speed Important for Law Firm Websites?, Clint Monette, SEO strategist at the law firm website company Civille, explains why page speed matters and how to ensure your site is up to speed.
