Page Speed is a Moderate-priority factor because speed affects how visitors experience your website and how efficiently they move toward contacting your firm.
Many law firms assume faster automatically means higher rankings. In practice, speed is part of a broader user experience equation.
A slow site can create friction, increase bounce rates, and make it harder for prospective clients to trust the experience.

The goal is not chasing perfect scores.
It is delivering a fast, stable experience that supports conversions and builds confidence.
