Improve Your Law Firm Website Page Loading Speed Instantly

In this article, I show you how to improve your law firm website page loading speed in around 10 minutes!

Website page loading speed is absolutely vital to the success of your law firm website for two reasons. First, it makes your visitors user experience of your website much better, meaning that they are far more likely to stay on your website and make contact with you. Second, Google uses website page loading speed as a factor in deciding to rank you in the organic search results.

First, let me show you how my page speed was doing before I made the change I am going to share with you:

Improve Your Law Firm Website Page Loading Speed Instantly

Now I review many websites with poor page load speeds, so if you haven’t done this before, you might think that 45/100 is a terrible speed for my website to load on a mobile device. It isn’t great, but I regularly see websites with a speed of less than 10/100.

However, I still desperately wanted to improve it, so I spent just 10 minutes installing a plugin to make my site load faster and this was the result:

I have highlighted the time and date in the bottom right corner, so you will see it shows a time gap of 26 minutes, but that included making a lovely cup of coffee and having a chat with my lovely wife.

So in only 10 minutes I managed to increase my mobile website page loading speed by 34 points from 45/100 to 79/100!

I think you will agree that is a dramatic improvement.

What did I do to improve my website page load speed?

I installed a plugin. It is a paid plugin but the price is absolutely nominal when you consider how much faster my mobile site is now loading for my visitors.

It has hundreds of five star reviews and having now installed it I can absolutely see why.

My only advice is that before you rush off and install it yourself, make sure you follow good practice and back up your website first (as you should whenever you install any new plugin).

I had no issues setting it up across my sites, but just in case, back up your site first.

Then, when that is done, go here to buy and download the Zip file licence for your website. You can buy the plugin for one site, three sites or unlimited depending on your needs. You can always test one but I bought three as I knew it was going to improve my sites.

As a medium sized Law Firm we have been dealing with Nick for a good few years now – his assistance and support delivered in a friendly but professional way has been invaluable; added to this, coming from a legal background he has a firm understanding of what solicitors require.

At our initial meeting with Nick he advised on various marketing strategies including simple changes to our website that would enhance traffic to the site.

We are now working on a new marketing project and know, as always, we are in safe hands.

As the owner of a small to medium-sized law firm, I have found that Samson Consulting’s Marketing4Solicitors monthly newsletter has proved absolutely invaluable throughout the last three years or so. Of all the marketing advice I’ve had over the years, this has proved by far the best value – bringing us tens of thousand of pounds of extra work every year.

One of the best tricks Nick Jervis [who owns Samson Consulting] uses, is not only to identify the kind of marketing actions a small or medium-sized business can take themselves, but he also explains why it works and most importantly then takes you through, step-by-step exactly what you need to do. As someone who is passionate about growing my business, I really look forward to receiving Nick’s excellent newsletter every month.

It’s worth pointing out that initially I was sceptical about his promises – so many marketing businesses promise the earth. But within a couple of months I was absolutely convinced he was right and I have been hooked ever since.

I recommend Nick Jervis and Samson Consulting without any hesitation whatsoever.

Chris Carter

Nick has for a long time now been the go to Legal Marketing Expert offering game changing advice in a no-nonsense way.

As well as knowing what works, he will also make sure you don’t waste valuable time on initiatives that aren’t destined to chime.

Approachable, friendly and fun to deal with he will always make sure you are travelling in the right direction and on the road to success.

Can’t recommend enough!

Mark Shepherd

I have worked with Nick for many years. He is an excellent consultant and helps law firms and businesses attract the clients they are looking for. Highly recommend.

Claire Johnson

Nick is a fountain of knowledge, tried and tested personally. He has that rare gift of not making you feel daft for asking any question. After our consultation I felt far less like a rabbit in the headlights and far more empowered to climb the marketing mountain successfully.
