🚀 Introduction
A/B testing (also known as split testing) helps you compare multiple versions of a URL to see which performs better. With 9to.in, you can easily split traffic between different links and automatically identify the best-performing one.
This is a powerful way to improve click-through rates and conversions.
🧪 What is A/B Testing?
A/B testing allows you to:
Test multiple landing pages
Compare performance of campaigns
Identify which version gets more clicks or conversions
Example:
Version A → Landing Page 1
Version B → Landing Page 2
Traffic is split between both, and the best-performing version wins.

⚖️ Step 6: Set Traffic Split
