Home landing: Homepage — All These Tested Homepage Variations - Perhaps This One Will Help?
Hypothesis
If we test a similar change on our home landing pages as tested, then our conversion metric will likely improve based on their implementation decision.
Test Results
Key Learning
Problem: Product recommendations on the home landing either help users find what they need or add noise that distracts from the primary purchase.
What worked: implemented this UI change (Apr 12, 2019). Implementation suggests positive internal results
Takeaway: Even small lifts compound — across thousands of sessions, this adds up. Use this win as a foundation for further iteration on adjacent elements.
How to Apply This to Your Site
This experiment demonstrated that home landing: homepage — all these tested homepage variations - perhaps this one will help? can improve conversions. The test was run on a landing page page in the saas industry.
Before you test: Consider that layout tests typically require adequate traffic to reach statistical significance. Run your test for at least 2 full business cycles to account for weekly traffic patterns.
What Was Tested
has been yet again noticed experimenting with a range of variations on their homepage - all of which yet again seem to have been rejected as before. Below is the leaked experiment with its key changes, the decision, as well as our own followup experiment recommendation (if we had the privilege of doing so).
