What does it do?#

ABtesting.ai is an A/B testing platform that automatically suggests and executes A/B tests on your landing page. It requires no knowledge about A/B testing and it can work in an unattended way. You just need to do the initial setup and our AI algorithm will find the best variation of your landing page that optimizes the conversion rate. Sounds easy, right?

Common problems with other A/B testing tools#

Choosing what to test#

Choosing what to test on your landing page is actually a hard task. Many A/B tests will fail not because you don't have enough visits on your page but because you chose the wrong things to test and the things you chose will not actually change in any measurable way your conversion rate. So you might get stuck running an A/B test for months trying to achieve some statistical significance on a 0.5% conversion rate improvement.

Risk of underperforming while running the A/B tests#

It's a common problem while running A/B testing that some of the variations will perform worse than the original design. This will make the overall conversion rate go down while you are running the tests, which could last for months, till you reach statistical significance to be able to actually tell that one of the variations performs better than the other ones.

Choosing which combinations of changes to try out#

Let's say that you want to test out 5 different colors for you call to action, 3 possible texts for your headline, 3 for your copy and 4 different form layouts for your signup form. This makes a total of 5x3x3x4 = 180 possible combinations that you could try out on your landing page to try to improve your conversion rate. Having to actually test all the possible combinations would take you years using a traditional Multivariate A/B test.

Web page loading speed#

Most of the A/B testing tools out there will ask you to include a huge JavaScript snippet on your website that will make it load slower, impacting your site performance and your conversion rate. Some tools like ABtasty will even load jQuery into your web page (!) making everything slower and impacting your user's experience.

Flickering#

Flickering or Flash of Original Content is when the original page is briefly displayed before the variation appears during an A/B test. Many tools out there have this problem, including Google Optimize which has an official “anti-flickering” code snippet that you need to figure out by yourself how to use.

Segmentation#

Not all of your visitors will react in the same way to your landing page. It depends a lot on the context of how they arrived to your webpage, what are they looking for, which country they come from, etc. Most A/B testing tools will ignore all of these facts and just show the variations of the A/B tests equally to everyone.

Upfront Costs#

Most A/B testing products will make you pay a subscription before you can actually see the results.

Adjusting Tests to Mobile#

While designing which variations to test, you always have to consider how it is going to look like for multiple screen sizes. If you are designing the change for desktop, you will need to try out how it looks on mobile by yourself, and all designers know that this is extremely annoying and hard to get right. One of your variations might break the UI for some of your visitors and you won't even know that the A/B test is skewed.

Conclusion#

ABtesting.ai is an extremely powerful tool for increasing your conversion rate by performing automated A/B tests. You don't need any kind of knowledge of A/B testing, let our AI sort all the details for you. Artificial Intelligence applied to conversion rate optimization is not the future, it's the present.
