Learn the right way to test and run your next CRO experiment through our free validation tool.
Most A/B tests fail before they even begin. Not because the idea is weak β but because the setup is broken. These are the patterns we see again and again:
Sound familiar? Most CRO experiments donβt fail because of bad ideas β they fail because of bad process. And most brands donβt find out until the trafficβs already burned.
Great experiments donβt happen by accident. Theyβre built on structure, precision, and ruthless clarity. Hereβs how to tell if your test is bulletproof, or barely holding together:
You donβt need a perfect experiment, but you need one that tells you the truth. Anything less and youβre scaling guesses, not winners.
Most teams skip steps. Others follow outdated playbooks. Here's the modern, high-confidence process we use when testing for eCommerce brands.
What do you believe will change user behaviour and why? A good hypothesis is specific, measurable, and based on actual user insight.
Example: βIf we simplify the product page layout, users will reach checkout faster.β
Donβt settle for bounce rate. Pick a primary KPI tied to business outcomes, like revenue per session, conversion rate, or average order value.
Use a power calculator to determine how much traffic you need to reach significance. No guesswork. No βletβs see what happens.β
Need help? Use our free test analyzer.
Variants must be pixel-perfect. Split logic must be clean. And tracking should be tested in both GTM and your analytics platform before launch.
Donβt touch the variant, but do monitor for traffic skews, tag breaks, and drop-offs. Make sure both versions stay stable across all devices.
Was it statistically significant? Was it commercially meaningful? Run power analysis, revenue projections, and calculate confidence before scaling.
Not every test ends in a clean win. Some need retesting with tighter scopes. Others reveal deeper UX flaws. The key: make data-backed decisions, not optimistic guesses.
Before you run your next test, ask yourself: Will it actually tell you anything useful? Our free CRO Test Analyzer breaks it down in seconds: power, revenue risk, duration, and whether you should even bother launching.
β Run Your Test Through It NowBuilt by CRO pros. Used by brands who donβt have time for guesswork.
Before you go live, tick every box. One oversight can ruin the entire experiment.
Optional: Run your test through the CRO Test Analyzer for a second opinion.
You donβt need more ideas, you need better decisions. Use our free tools to test smarter, not just more often.
β Use the CRO Test AnalyzerUntil youβve hit your required sample size and at least one full business cycle, often 2β4 weeks minimum. Use a power calculator, not guesswork.
Focus on high-traffic pages, higher-impact changes, or pooled metrics like RPS. If tests are too small to reach significance, try sequential testing or observation-led changes.
Not always. You can start with tools like Google Optimize (sunset), GA4, or our own A/B testing script. But analysis is where the magic happens, not just the variant split.
Significance shows if your result is unlikely to be random. Power shows how confident you are that you'd detect a real effect. You need both to avoid false wins or missed gains.
Run significance, power, and revenue checks before you launch any test.
