Experience Types

Optimize offers different experience types to fit your website testing and personalization needs.

  • A/B or A/B/n Testing

    A/B tests, or A/B/n tests, let you test multiple versions of the same web page to learn which page works best for your users.

  • Multivariate Testing

    Multivariate tests allow you to test multiple elements on a page to see which combination achieves your goals.

    With Optimize 360, enterprises can test even more element combinations.

  • Split URL Testing

    A redirect test, or split URL test, is a type of A/B test that lets you test separate pages against each other. With redirect tests, the test variants are identified by URL instead of page element which is most useful when testing two very different landing pages or a complete page redesign.

  • Server-Side Experiments

    Create and deploy your own variants on your own system. You can still use Optimize to view reports and determine a winner. Learn more.

  • Additional Simultaneous Experiments (Optimize 360 Only)

    With Optimize 360, you can run up to 100 experiments at a time to test anything and everything on your site with greater efficiency.

  • Personalization

    Deliver better personalized experiences to your customers. Immediately launch the winning version of your site from an experiment or launch a custom experience from the ground up.

Visual Editor

The visual website editor allows you to create a new variant of a page without needing to recode your site each time.

  • Easy Editing

    With our WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) website editor, you can quickly and easily create variants of your web pages without any recoding — just click to edit.

  • Helpful Diagnostics

    To help ensure the success of your tests, visual editor diagnostics will alert you to potential problems before you ever click the “start” button.

  • Responsive Visual Editor

  • Sophisticated Code Editing

  • Advanced Client-Side Signals
