A/B tests run on homepages. See which hero sections, value props, and layouts convert visitors into engaged users.
Across 54 homepage experiments, 69% resulted in a statistically significant win. Winning variants saw an average lift of +38.6%. Meanwhile, 1 test underperformed the control with an average drop of -9.0%.
16 experiments were inconclusive, meaning the difference between control and variant was not statistically significant. Inconclusive results are still valuable — they tell you what doesn't move the needle, so you can focus testing effort elsewhere.
These results come from real A/B tests with sample sizes ranging from hundreds to millions of visitors. Use them to inform your own homepage testing strategy and avoid repeating experiments that have already been run.
Context: The information hierarchy on the homepage may not match how users actually scan and process the content.
Context: Mobile users experience the homepage differently — smaller screens, touch targets, and limited attention require purpose-built design.
Context: How "Alberta homepage" is implemented on the homepage can meaningfully affect conversion — this element is worth testing.
Principle: The highest-ROI tests on homepages are usually structural (CTA placement, sticky nav, multi-step forms) rather than content changes. Copy matters most for nav labels and CTAs. Social proof works for social platforms but can backfire for professional services. Carousels consistently underperform static alternatives.

The story behind this win is the iteration discipline. The first attempt at this homepage redesign changed two systems at once (messaging + routing) and produced an ambiguous result: the entry metric moved slightly positive while downstream metrics moved meaningfully negative. The team correctly identified that the routing change — which inadvertently replaced direct links to a personalized plan-search experience with modal-driven entry into a generic flow — was the downstream killer. The iteration restored the original routing and kept ONLY the homepage hierarchy changes. All funnel metrics moved directionally positive in lockstep (entry +2.38%, mid-funnel +7%, conversion +11.81%) — none stat-sig individually but consistent enough across the funnel to justify shipping. Element-level diagnostics confirmed the mechanism: the segment CTAs the team intended to promote saw a 26-30% lift in unique-visitor interaction, while the unchanged hero banner stayed flat (as expected). Two key behavioral observations: (1) page-length reduction surfaced a 4x lift on a previously buried bottom-of-page zip code input — proving the secondary lesson that 'less page' can mean 'more conversion real estate'; (2) desktop strongly outperformed mobile, with the suspected cause being mobile's lead-with-form pattern (zip code above hero) — putting the form before the message creates friction. The broader transferable insight: when a messy test confounds multiple variables, the right move is to isolate one variable in the next test, not to abandon the hypothesis.
Problem: Users on the homepage need validation from others before committing — without visible proof of success, they hesitate.
Context: The headline on the homepage may not resonate with what users actually care about or address their top objections.
Problem: The first screen of the homepage must immediately communicate value — if it doesn't, users bounce before scrolling.
Problem: The registration experience on the homepage asks too much too soon, causing potential users to drop off.
Problem: The first screen of the homepage must immediately communicate value — if it doesn't, users bounce before scrolling.
Problem: Users arriving at the homepage can't efficiently find what they're looking for, increasing bounce rates.
Problem: Visual elements on the homepage aren't doing enough to communicate value, build trust, or guide users toward the next step.
