TL;DR

Yes, you can A/B test on Framer using third-party tools like ExperimentHQ. Framer doesn't have built-in A/B testing, but you can add a testing tool via Custom Code in Site Settings. Setup takes about 10 minutes, no coding required.

Who this is for

  • Framer users who want to optimize their landing pages

Framer-Specific Tips

Test your highest-traffic pages first

Usually the homepage or main landing page. Check Framer Analytics or your analytics tool to find top pages.

Framer's component structure works well with visual editors

Components have consistent class names, making it easy to target specific elements across pages.

Test animations and interactions

Framer's strength is motion design. Test whether animations help or hurt conversions.

Don't forget mobile

Framer sites are responsive by default. Preview your variations on mobile before launching.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

❌ Testing too many things at once

Test one element at a time so you know what caused the change. Don't change headline AND button AND image simultaneously.

❌ Ending tests too early

Run tests for at least 1-2 weeks and until you reach statistical significance. Early results are often misleading.

❌ Not republishing after adding the snippet

After adding the ExperimentHQ snippet, you must publish your Framer site for changes to take effect.
