Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Sample Size for A/B Testing?

A sample size is the number of observations to include in a statistical sample. Choosing the right sample size for your A/B testing is important to ensure you gain accurate data insights from your testing and make sure pages aren’t underperforming due to small or unequal sample sizes. 

Can You Run A/B Tests with Small Sample Sizes?

Yes, you can run A/B tests with small sample sizes, as long as you consider three things: 

  1. Desired lift
  2. Tolerance for risk
  3. Current conversion rate. 

These should be three areas you consider for each A/B test, especially when using small sample sizes. Learn more about these A/B testing considerations and how to make the most out of your tests.
