FAQ

Does Nelio A/B Testing slow down my site?

Barely. All heavy processing happens on our servers, and the plugin integrates with major caching plugins to minimize load.

Can I use it with page builders like Elementor or Gutenberg?

Yes. Nelio A/B Testing works with all major page builders, including Elementor and the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg).

How many tests can I run on the free plan?

As many as you want. However, keep in mind that the free plan supports a limited number of page views per month, which means you should probably focus your efforts on one test only. Upgrade to premium to test high-traffic sites, run tests with more variants, and unlock additional premium features.

Absolutely. No sensitive or personal user data is stored or transmitted to our cloud.

I added Nelio about a month ago. Our wordpress theme made install a bit complicated but Nelio support has been super communicative and helpful every step of the way. I am now able to run several detailed tests throughout my website each month and slowly chip away at getting a better and better conversion rate. Thanks Nelio!

I’ve been testing the Nelio A/B Testing plugin and I’m very impressed with the experience. The free version works great and lets you try all the main features with limited traffic — perfect to explore its potential and check compatibility with your site. I also upgraded to the paid version, and activation was seamless — premium features were enabled instantly. Support has been fast and effective whenever I had questions or needed help. The plugin is easy to install and use, provides valuable insights, and is thoughtfully designed for running A/B tests, heatmaps, and user behavior tracking. I also checked site performance and found it has minimal impact compared to other similar tools. In short: a powerful, easy-to-use solution for optimizing your website and understanding user behavior.

David is very helpful and very fast with his replies. The tool works good and as intended. Easy to create A/B tests in Wordpress with many different options and (multiple) goals. Amazing if you use it for wordpress with Hubspot forms as they work seamlessly together.

The support team or the developer, who replied to our email, was very helpful. They answered quickly to our email asking for support. Also they were very solution oriented and helped us fix the problem unlike some other plugins that just says solve it yourself.
