- 5 A/B tests that took
- 5 minutes to set up, and drove
- 5 figures in new monthly revenue.
These tiny but powerful tests require no design or coding skills and have returned significant rev gains.
They are:
- Removing Collection/Category Headers
- Using 'Top Collections' as the second section on the homepage
- Removing unnecessary plugins or apps
- Removing 'Back to Cart' buttons on Checkout
- Reorganize Navigation Based on Clicks + Revenue
As you can see, removing complexity or unnecessary elements can have a noticeable impact on your conversion rates. It's not just about adding more noise.

It's worth paying particularly close attention to the homepage "hero" section these stores deploy. You'll see fewer sliders/ carousels and more static images with strong call to action buttons. I wrote about this previously.

When you sign up for Cloudflare, you point your DNS records to Cloudflare instead of your own web server. Cloudflare then acts as a middle-layer for all incoming traffic to your website — providing performance improvements while also enhancing security.
This makes your website faster and more secure by serving the majority of your content from Cloudflare.
Over the last 30 days wpfusion.com received 6.33 million requests from 69,000 unique visitors. Almost 98% of that traffic was served by Cloudflare and never reached their server.
This in-depth article is an excellent primer if you want to know more about Cloudflare and are thinking of signing up.

The store mentioned in this Verge article, Get Bullish, is just one of the countless small businesses struggling with the ins, outs, and absurdities of Google.
Whatever they are selling, Google is indispensable — and as long that’s the case, store owners are left with a mandatory chore of writing for robots. Not actual people.
