Your site has issues impacting speed, security and search visibility. The good news is that they're all fixable.
WordPress maintenance, security and SEO handled by a software development team that understands what law firms need online.
These are the issues from your scan that deserve attention first.
The ABA Model Rules require lawyers to make "reasonable efforts" to prevent unauthorised access to client information. That includes the technology your firm relies on, like your website.
29% of law firms have experienced a security breach. For firms with 10 to 49 attorneys, the rate is even higher. A breach doesn't just mean downtime: it can trigger malpractice claims; bar disciplinary proceedings; and lasting reputational damage.
The issues we flag in our audits, such as exposed endpoints, missing security headers and unprotected login pages, are exactly the kind of vulnerabilities that put firms at risk. Fixing them isn't optional. It's part of practising responsibly.

One in five people looking for a lawyer now ask AI tools like ChatGPT instead of searching Google. 60% of Google searches already end with AI answering the question directly. How people find legal help is changing fast.
AI tools don't work like Google. They look for structured data, directory presence and content they can understand and cite. If your site isn't built for this, AI won't recommend you. Your competitors who are built for it will show up instead.
Based on legal industry search behaviour research, 2025-2026.

Strategic growth & content
Everything you see on this page is real: your scores, your findings, your page load time. We scanned your site, ran the numbers and presented them as clearly as we could with no cherry-picking and no exaggeration.
You're welcome to take this report, hand it to your in-house team or existing web developer, and have them fix everything on the list. If you do, consider it our small contribution to making the internet a little safer for you and the people who rely on your firm.
But if you'd rather not think about WordPress updates, security patches and Core Web Vitals ever again, that's what we're here for. We're a small team of developers who care about doing good work. We don't lock you into contracts, we don't hide behind jargon and we don't disappear when something breaks.
We'd love to work with you. Either way, both your business and your website will be better for having this information.
