How Can Testing Improve Your Website?

Testing your website is important to make it better for users. It helps you find what works best and what needs fixing.

What Should You Test?

• Call-to-Action (CTA) Buttons
  • Try different colors, styles, or places to see what gets more clicks.

• Page Layouts
  • Move menus, pictures, or text around to make it easier for users.

• Sharing Buttons
  • Find the best spot for social media buttons—top, side, or bottom of the page.

• Landing Pages
  • Change the design to see what brings in more visitors.

What is A/B Testing?A/B testing means showing two different versions of a page to see which one people like more. You can use tools like Firebase to do this easily.

Tips for Testing Your Website

• Don’t Trick Search Engines
  • Never show one thing to users and something else to Google. This can hurt your website’s ranking.

• Use 302 Redirects
  • If you need to send users to a test page, use a temporary redirect (302) instead of a permanent one (301).

• Tell Google the Original Page
  • Add a rel=”canonical” tag to let search engines know which page is the main one.

Extra Things to Try

• Ask Real People: Get feedback from users to see what they like or dislike.
• Expert Check: Ask an expert to find problems on your site.
• Task Testing: Watch how users complete simple tasks on your website.
