Default Brake pedal feels harder and theres a decrease in brake power

I noticed one morning while going through my neighborhood. When I would press the brake pedal, say 40%, it would feel the same, but if i continued to press it past that, the pedal would feel considerably harder and it would not stop as nearly as good as before.
I noticed about a year ago that one of my front B lines had a rip in it, but it was only the insulation part of the line, no BF loss so maybe it finally split open. Would low brake fluid cause a hard pedal? Thanks.
