Hi Kia,
Sorry, I’m not sure why you’re seeing different numbers. I’ll try to take a closer look, but I haven’t run across this in practice.
It’s possible that the site numbers would be higher because browsers are blocking analytics or requests are timing out. Those numbers seem a lot higher though, so this probably isn’t the reason.
If you find more information, can you let me know? I’ll keep poking around on this end.
Thanks!

Awesome, and thanks! Feel free to come by and mark this as resolved when you’re satisfied that it’s working, and if it seems like something’s wrong, just let me know.

Have a great day!

For sure! The code is completely open-source, so you’re welcome to have a peek at the code to double check.

https://github.com/scotchfield/ab-see/blob/master/ab-see.php

Users are put into groups based on two things: their logged-in state (user id) or their IP address. If the user is logged in, A/B See will use their user id and the test id (so they’re not always in the same group) to put them in one of two buckets. If the user isn’t logged in, A/B See will use the IP address and the test id instead.

What this means is that regardless of browser, a logged-out user on a particular IP address will always be in the same bucket, and a logged-in user will always be in the same bucket.

I’d recommend watching it for a few days and seeing if it’s putting people in the right bucket. If not, please let me know! (I’ll leave this topic unresolved to be safe).

And a quick anecdote: I tried to be cute when demoing A/B testing for my team, and all five of us were put in the same group. Unlikely, but possible! ?? (The sixth person finally got added to the second group. Still made me nervous!)

Keep me posted! Thanks!

Hi there,

One way to do this would be to set up a separate page that logs a conversion and redirects to the external site. For example, you could set up example.com/redirect and point your link there instead of directly to the external page.

Hope this helps!

Sorry for the late response, I just saw this now!

No plans to test three options at the moment. I’d love to add weighting and to improve the stats behind when a test should be shown and when an experiment is complete. That’s on the todo list. ??

Marking as resolved. ??

Cool, thanks for sharing it!

Woohoo! Thanks for the update, thanks for the review, and thanks for checking it out in the first place! Keep me posted. ??

I’m sorry, that was my fault–didn’t put the correct version. I think you should see the latest now. Please let me know if not, and thanks for your patience!

Thank you for noticing that! I’ve added version 1.01, which will allow you to delete inactive tests. Please note that this will delete test data (impressions) as well.
