#1 – ❤️ Native A/B Testing Solution for WordPress

There’s no need to learn an external tool. Define, manage, and track the progress of your tests directly from within WordPress. Nelio A/B Testing provides a lovely and well-known user interface that simplifies the process of creating alternatives and applying the winning ones.

#2 – 📝 Create Alternative Content for your Pages, Posts, and Custom Post Types

When creating A/B tests, the first things you’ll want to test are the pages of your website. Does this button work? Do my visitors go from the landing page to my pricing page? What if I change this background image? Nelio A/B Testing makes page, post, and custom content tests super easy!

#3 – 🔎 Go beyond simple title tests—Test Headlines!

Are you a Publisher? Are you an avid blogger? Then, you probably want to deliver to every reader a more engaging and relevant reading experience. Nelio A/B Testing includes is the first A/B testing tool for WordPress that offers Headline tests. Given a post in your site, create alternative titles, excerpts, and featured images, and discover which combination takes more visitors from anywhere in your site to your post!

#4 – 👨‍💻 Test Widgets

Nelio A/B Testing is the only solution that includes Menu and Widget Testing. Use the WordPress’ default user interface for creating new menus and widget sets. You’ll be able to duplicate your current menus and widgets, and modify them with just a few clicks. Discover which combination improves your conversion rate!

#5 – 🔥 Beautiful Heatmaps and Click-maps

Heatmaps (and Click-maps) offer valuable information about what your visitors do and don’t do when they land to your website. Also, they are a perfect companion of A/B tests, for they give insights on what to text next and help you understand the progress of your tests.

#6 – 🎨 Test Alternative Themes and CSS

If you’re planning to change your theme, or tweak its CSS rules, make sure they’ll benefit your business. Nelio A/B Testing makes theme and CSS testing extremely easy! Simply select the themes you want to test (or define the alternative CSS rules you want to apply), and the plugin will take care of the rest.

#7 – 📈 Conversion Actions, Segmentation, and Evolution of Your Tests

With Nelio A/B Testing, you can track the important actions your visitors take. Don’t get lost with tons of irrelevant options and data. Focus on what matters. Our plugin will offer you fresh information about the evolution of the test, with nice graphics about visitors and conversions.

Moreover, if you’re interested in testing a subset of your visitors, you can do so using Nelio A/B Testing’s segmentation capabilities. Refine the audience you want to understand by defining the characteristics that are relevant for a specific test: country, language, device, referrer, date, time, and more!

#8 – 🛠️ Cache Support and Server Load

One of our priorities is efficiency. The process of A/B testing a site is not necessarily at odds with performance. Nelio A/B Testing implements several mechanisms to reduce the impact of testing your site, such as support for cache systems in WordPress and optional site-wide consistency (if you’re testing a page or post, not only that page or post has to change, but also any page that includes a widget referencing it).

#9 – 🤝 Outstanding Support

FAQ

Why should I use an A/B Testing Solution specifically designed for WordPress?

  • Smooth learning curve. There is no need to learn yet another tool.
    Everything (from the creation of tests to the visualization of the results) is done from the WordPress dashboard you are familiar with, resulting in a well-known, perfectly integrated user interface.
  • Evolve your WordPress site easily. A native WordPress solution automates and simplifies the evolution of your site. Consider, for example, applying the winner alternative in your site as soon as the results are statistically significant. With a native solution, this is as easy as clicking one single button. With a generic tool, on the other hand, you would have to manually modify the page so that it integrates the changes you created in the (winning) alternative.
  • Fine-grained testing. The “testing unit” in a generic tool is the web page, since the HTML of the page is the only thing those tools have access to. A native WordPress solution, however, permits you to test any WordPress specific component, such as posts, pages, CSS, themes, child themes, and many more coming!

Setting up A/B tests with Nelio A/B is a breeze. Highly recommend to anyone looking to quickly deploy A/B tests from their own Wordpress. What truly sets it apart, though, is the amazing support team—always ready to help and go the extra mile.

We've just started using the plugin. First tests seem indicate that this plugin will be very useful. The big note here is that we had questions about the setup and results, and the support team was quick, and thorough and clear in their explanation–beyond what I've experienced in other services. As of now, a few weeks in, this plugin is highly recommended.

We have been using this plugin for over a year and it has been a wonderful tool for AB testing and heatmapping. Support is amazing too. I definitely recommend!

This service has a plugin and has the advantage of allowing you to natively A/B test on your site. It offers heatmaps, too. It's a simple interface and works really well. I did experience an issue with installing it on a client's sites due to their specific setup, however after contacting Nelio directly, they got back to me in a few minutes, helping to resolve the issue very quickly indeed. You don't get service like that often, so it's definitely recommended.
