Split Testing: Definition & 5 Steps to do it

Split testing is a method of comparing two versions of a webpage or app to determine which one performs better in terms of user engagement or conversions.

Why is Split testing important?

Split testing is important because it allows businesses to make data-driven decisions by comparing the performance of two versions of a webpage or app and selecting the most effective one.

An easy way to understand Split testing:

Trying two different versions of a webpage to see which one works better. It's like offering two flavors of ice cream and seeing which one more people like.

5 Steps to do Split Testing

1. Identify the key metric you want to improve, such as conversion rate or click-through rate. Create two versions of the element you want to test, such as a headline or call-to-action button.

2. Use an A/B testing tool to randomly display the two versions to your website visitors. Ensure that the test runs long enough to gather statistically significant data.

3. Analyze the results to determine which version performed better based on your key metric. Implement the winning version and document your findings.

4. Continuously test different elements of your website or app to optimize performance over time. Prioritize tests based on potential impact and feasibility.

5. Be mindful of external factors that may influence your test results, such as seasonality or traffic sources. Run tests simultaneously to minimize the impact of these factors.

Are You Making This Mistake?

After investing over $1.2m in gurus, masterminds and coaching, I discovered that the number one reason people don’t succeed is because they’re following the wrong path.

There are people like myself and Elon Musk who are Pure Visionaries at heart. Then there are people like MrBeast, Kylie Jenner and Steve Jobs, who are different.

That’s why I invested 100s of hours to create this free quiz: So that more people can find the path that’s most suitable for them.
