Most A/B tests fail because the hypothesis was weak.
Definition
A/B testing is the practice of running two or more variants of a page or experience in parallel to determine which performs better against a measurable goal. Effective A/B testing depends on a strong hypothesis, sufficient traffic for statistical power, isolated single-variable changes, and a pre-registered success metric.

FAQ
Depends on baseline conversion rate and minimum detectable effect. Use a calculator. A typical 5% conversion baseline needs 4,000-8,000 visitors per variant to detect a 20% relative lift at 80% power.
Yes, on different pages or different visitor segments. Same page same time risks interaction effects that confound results.
A/B compares two variants with one variable difference. Multivariate compares many variable combinations at once, requiring much higher sample sizes to isolate effects.
At minimum: one full business cycle (typically a week) plus enough traffic to hit your sample size. Stopping early causes false positives.
Bounce rate, time on page, scroll depth, downstream pipeline conversion. Optimizing for top-of-funnel conversion alone can hurt revenue.
