Spit Testing Plugin For WordPress – Emveetees
I’ve built a plugin that can be used to split test content on a WordPress site with ease. Simply fill in the boxes that the plugin gives and it’ll handle the rest in a cache-friendly way. The plugin takes care of the 3 main things a split testing system needs.
The entire thing is currently in beta form so you can contact me and ask for a copy of the files. It’ll be available on GitHub soon and once it’s thoroughly tested and I’ve got some real user feedback I’ll try get it included in the WordPress plugin repo.
Usage is fairly straightforward:
- Install and activate the plugin
- Visit the plugin page and edit the options
- You need to enter a name (can be anything)
- The element you’re targeting (this is a css ID or classname – or a css path)
- The property to edit (currently very limited – I’m working to extend this in a more robust way)
- The attribute to set the property too.
- And obviously you need to tick the box to run the tests.
- The test will run and report to Google Analytics
The system has 3 dependencies – the core split testing script, jQuery and GoogleAnalytics. The plugin enques it’s core script and jQuery but it relies on you including GA by other means (there are very basic checks in place to make it work with both ga.js and analytics.js versions of the Google Analytics tracking script).
