Introduction
Welcome to our technical guide on utilizing the new SPA (Single Page Application) Optimizations feature in our A/B testing tool. This document is designed to help you understand and effectively use our latest tracking script, especially in the context of SPA frameworks.
SPAs have revolutionized web development with their dynamic loading capabilities, leading to faster and more interactive user experiences. A key aspect of SPAs is the 'hydration' process, where a static page becomes interactive. However, this can pose challenges for A/B testing, as traditional tracking scripts may not account for these dynamic changes.
Our new tracking script is specifically designed to seamlessly integrate with SPAs. It includes:
-
Hydration Detection: The script detects when the SPA hydration process starts, ensuring any modifications made to web elements prior to hydration are maintained afterward.
-
Continuous Activation: Post-activation, it continually monitors for changes (mutations) in the DOM and reapplies modifications to maintain the integrity of your A/B tests.
This feature allows you to toggle the advanced SPA handling capabilities of our tracking script:
-
Enable: The script will actively manage element changes before and after hydration, ensuring consistent A/B testing results.
-
Disable: The script operates without SPA-specific adjustments, suitable for traditional web applications.
-
Access the Convert UI: Log into your dashboard and navigate to My Project > Configuration > Other Settings.
-
Locate SPA Optimizations: Find the SPA Optimizations toggle under the script settings.
-
Toggle the Setting: Choose to enable or disable the feature based on your application's architecture and testing requirements.
-
Enable SPA Optimizations for websites using SPA frameworks to ensure accurate A/B testing results.
-
Regularly monitor your A/B tests for any anomalies, especially after major updates to your website.
-
If unsure, consult with your support team to understand the impact of SPA on your site's functionality and A/B testing.
Our new tracking script with SPA Optimizations is a powerful tool for conducting A/B tests in dynamic web environments. By understanding and utilizing these features, you can ensure more accurate and reliable testing outcomes.
