React Best Practices

1

A React website is only as fast as its JavaScript bundle — audit your bundle size before launch or you'll be paying for it in Google Ads Quality Scores. React sites frequently launch with 500KB-2MB JavaScript bundles that have to load and execute before a visitor sees anything meaningful. For PI firms running Google Ads, slow landing pages directly inflate your cost-per-click through lower Quality Scores. Use webpack-bundle-analyzer or Vite's build stats to identify which dependencies are bloating your bundle. Target under 150KB initial JavaScript for a law firm homepage — anything over 300KB needs to be justified.

2

Use server-side rendering (Next.js or Remix) for all public-facing pages — client-rendered React is an SEO liability. A React app that renders entirely in the browser produces an HTML shell with almost no indexable content. Googlebot renders JavaScript, but it does so with lower priority and inconsistent success. Practice area pages, attorney bios, and city-specific landing pages need to be server-rendered so search engines see full content immediately. The PI firms using React successfully are almost all using Next.js, not a plain Create React App build.

3

Don't use React for a brochure website just because your agency prefers it — match the tool to the actual problem. React makes sense when your firm needs interactive functionality: a multi-step intake wizard that qualifies leads in real time, a client portal with live case status, a dynamic case value estimator. It does not make sense for a 10-page law firm website that just needs to load fast and rank in search. If your agency proposed React for a marketing site, ask them specifically what interactivity requires it. If they can't answer precisely, you're paying React-developer rates for a problem WordPress would solve better.

4

Set up error boundaries on every major UI section — an unhandled JavaScript error in one component should not crash the entire page. React's error boundary API lets you isolate failures so a broken intake widget doesn't blank out the whole page. This is especially critical for PI firms whose React sites integrate multiple third-party widgets: chat tools, scheduling platforms, call tracking scripts. Any of these can fail with a JavaScript error. Without error boundaries, one bad third-party update takes your entire page offline until someone notices.

Alternatives to React

1

WordPress with Gutenberg — The pragmatic choice for 95% of PI firm websites. Managed WordPress is faster to launch, easier for content teams to update, has a massive plugin ecosystem for intake and SEO, and costs a fraction of a custom React build to maintain. The performance gap between a well-optimized WordPress site and a well-optimized Next.js site is negligible in practice. Choose React when you need genuinely interactive application features; choose WordPress when you need a fast, maintainable marketing site.

2

Next.js (React-based, worth distinguishing) — If you're going to use React, use Next.js. It solves the SEO and performance problems that plain React creates, adds file-based routing that reduces complexity, and has the largest React ecosystem support. A firm choosing bare React in 2025 is making the same mistake as choosing jQuery over Alpine.js — the underlying technology is sound, but the wrapper is outdated.

3

Astro — The most interesting emerging alternative for PI firm websites. Astro generates static HTML by default and only adds JavaScript where explicitly needed. A PI firm site built in Astro loads faster than Next.js, ranks better, and requires less client-side JavaScript — while still allowing React or Vue components for interactive sections. Smaller developer ecosystem than React/Next.js, but the performance-first architecture aligns with what law firm marketing sites actually need.

4

Webflow — A no-code website builder that produces clean, fast HTML/CSS without PHP, WordPress, or React. Webflow's CMS handles practice area pages, attorney bios, and blog posts without a developer. Several top-50 PI firms nationally run Webflow sites. The limitation is complex custom functionality — if your intake flow requires real-time validation, database lookups, or case-type routing logic, Webflow hits a ceiling. It's excellent for marketing sites; it's not an application platform.

React Power Moves

1

If your site already uses React, build your intake form as a React component with real-time validation and watch form completion rates jump 20-40%. A React intake form can validate fields as users type — flagging an invalid phone number before submission, auto-formatting dates, conditionally showing fields based on accident type. Compare this to a standard HTML form that waits until submit to show all errors at once, forcing users to scroll up and fix issues. The difference in completion rate is measurable, and React gives you this capability natively without additional libraries.

2

Use React Query or SWR to prefetch case result data and make your site feel instant on repeat visits. These data-fetching libraries cache API responses and serve them from memory on subsequent page views. A potential client who visits your "car accident" page, goes to your attorney bios, and comes back sees zero loading time on their second visit. For React sites with multiple practice area pages, this compounds: by the time a visitor reaches your contact page, all the supporting content they might want to review is already in their browser cache.

3

Instrument your React intake funnel with custom events in GA4 to find exactly which step loses prospects. Use React's component lifecycle to fire a GA4 event every time a user advances through your intake form: step_1_complete, step_2_complete, step_3_abandoned. Create a funnel report in GA4 showing the drop-off rate at each step. Most PI firms discover 60-70% of users abandon the form at step 2 or 3 — and fixing that one step is worth more than any ad campaign optimization.
