    I apologize for being slow, but even after 10+ years of experience working with WordPress I wasn’t able to even start a test. Yes, I read the documenation, but it didn’t help.

    So, I created a test, created a variant, saved and started the test. Now, I would expect to see both variants randomly. But no, I always see the variant but never the original. I am not logged in and open the page in a new private browser tabs.

    What am I missing?

    Second, rather than monitoring an event like a click I would prefer to simply measure the time users are on the orignal page vs. the variant. Is this posssible?

    Thank you!

    Sorry, it seems that I had to close the browser completely even in private mode. Didn’t know that.

    To the second question: Could the query ?nab=xxx be tracked using Google Analytics?

    Once a user is assigned a variant, they’re supposed to see the same variant always. To do so, we store a cookie in their browser. You need to clean the cookies if you want to randomly get a new variant.

    Unfortunately, that’s not possible. Our plugin tests two versions of a certain page, computes their respective conversion rates, and tells you which one is better. That is, it tracks things like “in variant A, 2% of users performed the conversion action; in variant B, 3% of users did” and then it tells you “it looks like variant B is better than A” (assuming the results are statistically significant). We don’t have such a metric for “time spent on page.”

    To the second question: Could the query ?nab=xxx be tracked using Google Analytics?

    Sure! I think GA already does anyway. There’s a setting in our plugin to “hide” the query args after an alternative is loaded. Just make sure this setting is disabled, so that the nab query arg is in the URL and, thus, GA can track it.

    However, please notice this GA integration is a lucky side-effect of how our plugin works. We’ve never implemented specific GA integration features in our plugin. I hope it’s enough for you, though!

    Thank you very much. I’ve just tested it. It works fine in Google Analytics. I can search the visited pages for ?nab=. This gives me all the information needed. We will go PRO, I think.
