Start a split test

Show some visitors a change and see which version gets more join clicks.

  1. Open My website → Split tests and click + New split test.
  2. Which site: pick one, or Both (a test on each). (Only shown if you have more than one.)
  3. What to test: pick a tile, for example Join button words. Greyed-out tiles are already being tested.
  4. Group B sees: set the change. The A and B previews show both versions.
  5. Who and how long:
    • Visitors: Everyone, Phones or Computers.
    • Split: 50 / 50, or 80 / 20 (safer, but slower).
    • Stop when: 95% sure, or after 14, 21, 28 or 42 days.
    • Name: something you'll recognise later.
  6. Click Start and send to the site. Or Save draft to finish later: drafts are on the Drafts tab.

The box under Who and how long estimates how many days it will take at your traffic.

Before you start

  • Change one thing per test.
  • Don't change that part of the site anywhere else while it runs.
  • Give it at least a week.

If it says the test saved as a draft but didn't start, the site couldn't take it. The reason is shown. Check Site connection.
