A/B test

What is an A/B test?

An A/B test compares two versions of the same element — a headline, a button, an email, a landing page — by showing each to a random half of the audience and measuring which one produces more of the action you care about. It replaces an argument about taste with a number, and it only answers the question you actually set up.
