These answers come from the year-long archive of my previous chatbot that lived on my previous site iamnicola.ai. I’ve curated the most useful sessions—real questions from operators exploring AI workflows, experimentation, and conversion work—and lightly edited them so you get the original signal without the noise.

How much traffic do I need for effective A/B testing?

Traffic requirements for A/B testing depend on your baseline conversion rate and desired improvement. Generally, you need at least 1,000-2,000 visitors per variant per week for meaningful results. Lower conversion rates require more traffic. High-traffic sites (100,000+ monthly visitors) can test quickly and frequently. Medium-traffic sites (10,000-100,000 monthly) can test but need longer run times. Low-traffic sites may need to focus on high-impact changes or use alternative methods. Use sample size calculators to determine exact needs. Many consultants help prioritize tests based on traffic volume—high-traffic pages can test more frequently. The key is having enough data for statistical significance.
