Split Testing With Netlify

In this tutorial, we’ll learn what split testing is, why you need it, and how to set it up with Netlify. Split testing is the idea of creating another copy of your website that you can send users to, so you can test new features.

Your main traffic goes to your production site: And you can send testers to the branch subdomain: Easy stuff.

To do that, you create a split test, and set 100% of your traffic to production, and 0% to the new beta site: Now, to route people to the beta site, they will need a cookie set.

Netlify will send a percentage of your visitors to your new site and the rest to your old or “production” site.
