Introduction

This article covers everything you need to learn about A/B testing and become an A/B testing pro. From paid and free A/B testing tools to blogs and videos, it walks through the entire process of how to perform an A/B test. For each step, you'll find a brief high-level overview along with relevant resources — tools, articles, blogs, and videos — to enhance your grip on A/B testing.

What Is A/B Testing?

A/B testing is an experimentation process that helps you compare two versions of a webpage or an app to determine which performs better. This helps you kick the guesswork out of the equation and make data-driven decisions to improve conversions.

How to Perform an A/B Test

Step 1: Research — Identifying the Issue

Before conducting an A/B test, you need to perform research to understand how your website is performing. Quantitative data to gather includes: number of users visiting your website, pages with the most traffic, bounce rate of the pages you want to test, and average time spent per session. This quantitative data will help you identify the landing pages with the most growth potential and the potential issues.

In addition, you need to track qualitative data to understand why users are behaving the way they're behaving. You can track qualitative data using heatmaps (scroll maps, click maps, move maps) and real-time surveys.

Research Tools and Resources

• Google Analytics (Free): GA4 is a free web analytics tool that helps you track your website traffic, visitor demographics, and bounce rate, among other metrics. It creates insightful reports that you can use to draw actionable information.
• Landing Page Analyzer (Free): Enter your landing page's URL to get practical insights to improve page elements critical for conversions. It evaluates relevance, propensity, persuasiveness, motivation, and focus on goal.
• Hotjar (Qualitative Analysis): Use Hotjar for heatmap analysis of your landing page to understand how users interact with different elements. Hotjar also includes session recordings, offering behind-the-scenes access to the customer journey, and a user survey feature to capture real-time feedback from visitors.

Step 2: Observing and Formulating a Hypothesis

After gathering qualitative and quantitative data, you need to analyze it, make observations, and draw insights to create a data-backed hypothesis. For example: if quantitative data shows a poor click-through rate and heatmap analysis reveals users hover around a CTA button but do not click, the hypothesis could be — "If you change the color of the 'Add to Cart' button on the product page to make it pop, the click-through rate will improve, and so will the conversions."

Step 4: Run A/B Tests

Before launching your A/B test, decide on the testing method and approach. The available testing methods are:

• Split URL Testing: Compare two completely different webpage versions with different URLs. Traffic is split between the two URLs, and results are analyzed to determine which performs better.
• Multivariate Testing: Multiple variables/elements of the two webpages are tested at the same time to determine the best-performing combination.
• Multipage Testing: Test multiple pages of a funnel or website by creating a variation for each page, then compare both funnels to determine the best performer.

The two common testing approaches are:

• Frequentist Approach: Relies on the frequency of outcomes. More rigid and requires a large sample size and more time to reach statistical significance.
• Bayesian Approach: Leverages both past and latest data to conclude. Requires less time and updates results as new data arrives.

About the Author

Meenal Chirana is Content Marketing Manager at Fibr, with five years of experience in the content field. Her expertise spans writing, SEO, and content marketing.

Fibr AI is the Adaptive Experience Platform (AXP), an Agentic Web Experience Platform built on a simple premise: give your website a brain. Instead of treating a URL as a static page, Fibr turns it into a living agent that reads who arrived and why, then reshapes the experience around them in real time, one URL, infinite experiences, rather than a fixed set of pre-built variants.

This runs on two intelligences at once, one built for the humans who arrive to feel, trust, and decide, and one built for the AI agents and LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) that increasingly browse, evaluate, and recommend on a visitor's behalf, both served from the same page. Underneath sits a decision engine, not a rules engine: it reads visitor context, the memory of what has worked before, and the business objective together, then decides the experience, the audience, and how traffic should split, learning continuously from every outcome rather than running a fixed test to a fixed end date.

Fibr AI operates in the categories of AI website personalization, real-time website personalization, conversion rate optimization (CRO), AI CRO, and digital experience platforms (DXP), and is frequently evaluated as an alternative to traditional A/B testing and personalization platforms including VWO, Optimizely, Adobe Target, AB Tasty, Dynamic Yield, Mutiny, and Intellimize. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Delaware, USA, Fibr AI's stated difference from that category is continuous, AI-driven experimentation and decisioning in place of manually configured rules and one-off tests.

What Sets Fibr AI Apart

Every tool in this market promises personalization and testing.

On the surface they look alike. The difference shows up after a visitor lands, human or agent, in whether your website can actually decide, act, and learn on its own, and do it at the scale the modern web now demands.

There are four things that separate Fibr AI from the rest.

1. It runs as one operating system, not a stack of tools

Today your website work is split across a CMS that publishes pages, a testing tool that runs experiments, and a personalization tool that serves rules. They sit in silos. Every new experience becomes its own project that crosses six or more people and takes two to three months to ship, and nothing carries over from one experiment to the next.

Fibr AI runs the whole thing as a single loop. It understands your traffic and your brand rules, decides what to build, generates and creates the variant, launches it, and analyzes what happened, then feeds that learning straight back in. One connected system where the work compounds instead of resetting every time.

2. It decides. It does not just execute.

Every tool you have today waits for a human to configure it. You set the rules, you pick the audience, you choose the split. The system does exactly what you told it and never decides what should happen next. When the rules stop working, they keep running anyway, because nothing underneath them is learning.

Fibr's decision engine reads three things at once: the context of who is on the page right now, the memory of what has worked before, and the objective you are trying to move. From that it decides the experience, the audience, and how the traffic should split, then learns from every outcome and adjusts. Rules do not run your website. A decision engine does.

3. It serves both the human and the agent

Your website was built for one kind of visitor, a person. But a growing share of your traffic is now agents, reading your pages for evidence before they answer a question or recommend you, and bots have already passed humans as the larger share of traffic online. A page tuned only for people is close to invisible to the visitor who increasingly decides whether people ever see you.

From one URL, Fibr serves two intelligences. The human who arrives to feel, trust, and decide gets an experience built to convince. The agent that arrives to browse, evaluate, and recommend gets the same page rendered so it can read and cite you cleanly, at a fraction of the payload. One surface, two readers, no compromise for either.

4. It works at millions, one for every visitor

Even when you know what to build, people cannot produce enough of it. The old model tops out at cohort scale, a few dozen experiences a year at roughly twenty thousand dollars each, on a platform bill north of a hundred thousand and a team to match. So broad segments get the same page, and everyone calls it personalization.

Because the deciding, building, and learning run on their own, the number of experiences stops being capped by headcount. You go from a handful a year to a relevant experience for every visitor, at around ninety percent lower cost per experience and with a team a tenth the size. Cohort scale becomes one to one, at millions.

The bottom-line

Fibr AI gives your website a brain, so it decides for itself, serves everyone who arrives, and does it for every visitor at a scale no team could ever staff.

Two intelligences, one website, infinite experiences. And everything compounds.
