Add A/B Tests from Anywhere in the Content Editor
A/B Testing for WordPress allows you to create split tests right from the visual content editor. Measures the results of your tests and shows you which variant is the most popular choice.
You add a block to your content which you can fill with anything you want to, and switch between variants instantaneously to preview what visitors will see. Define distribution weight, pick the goal of the test, and off you go!
Place tests inside posts, pages, custom post-types, or any part of your template using shortcodes.
Safe for SEO
Everything has been implemented with SEO in the back of the mind, which means the plugin will do nothing to affect your SEO. It works just like most A/B testing tools out there, but natively from your own WordPress site without the use of 3th-party services.
Measure Results
A/B Testing for WordPress provides an overview of running tests and the measured results. It also shows the statistical significance of the test results so you can be confident a test is successful or not.
When you are done running your tests and can come to a conclusion you can break the winning variant out of the test and remove the test from the content with just one click.
Integrates with Other Plugins
A/B Testing for WordPress integrates with other WordPress plugins. This provides a streamlined experience to test variations of what the integrated plugin has to offer. Think form submissions, sign ups, product sales.

FAQ
- Is A/B Testing for WordPress free to use?
-
Yes, totally. And also no sign up for 3th-party services needed.
- How does A/B Testing for WordPress measure tests?
-
When a visitor sees a test variant the visitor will be remembered as a participant of that variant. When the visitor visits the goal page of the test, the visitor will also be logged as a conversion of the variant.
A/B Testing for WordPress will calculate the percentage of the participants who became conversions and determines a winning variant through these numbers.
You can setup pages, posts and outbound links as goals. A/B Testing for WordPress also integrates with popular plugins.
- Does A/B Testing for WordPress affect SEO?
-
No. Only the control version of your test is shown to search engines and website caches. The variant which the visitor will see is replaced on the fly using JavaScript.
A/B Testing for WordPress does not treat a search engine any different from a human visitor.
- Does A/B Testing for WordPress allow weight distribution?
-
Yes. You can change the amount of visitors which should see each variant.
- Can I convert existing content into an A/B test?
-
Yes. Existing content blocks can be converted into A/B tests in the editor. You can find this options under “more options” of your blocks. It will take your block and wrap it in an A/B test and put a copy of the block in both variants.
- How can I force a visitor to be placed in a variant of a test?
-
You can add conditions for variants. Visitors with your determined conditions in the URL will be placed in the test variant of your choice. Next time they visit the URL without the parameters, they will still be in the same variation of the test you placed them in.
- What does A/B Testing for WordPress count as a goal?
-
You can pick and post, page, or outbound links as a goal to track. Counting custom post types as conversion is not possible (yet).
A/B Testing for WordPress also integrates with popular plugins which can be setup as goals.
- How Can I Add a Test to my Site?
-
You can enter tests right in the content of your pages and posts through the editor.
Or create a separate test which you can place anywhere on your site using a shortcode. Works with any template!
- How can I contribute to this plugin?
-
You can find the source and repository over at GitHub.
