The Importance of A-B Testing

A-B testing is essential for determining the effectiveness of website changes aimed at increasing conversion rates. It allows product owners to gather concrete evidence of the impact of their modifications rather than relying on assumptions or anecdotal evidence. Common sense improvements may not yield the expected results, as external factors can also influence performance. By using A-B testing, businesses can optimize their strategies to make better-informed updates that lead to increased revenue without necessarily increasing traffic.
