8 Best WordPress A/B Testing Plugins and Tools

A few years back, I changed a single button on a contact form from “Submit” to “Send My Message,” ran an A/B test, and watched the conversion rate jump by around 14%. That kind of result happens often enough that I treat A/B testing as a non-negotiable part of running any WordPress site.

The challenge is figuring out which plugin to actually use. Most lists I’ve come across either pad the ranking with tools that aren’t really A/B testing platforms, or skip the free options entirely. So I tested the ones that genuinely run on WordPress and ranked them by how useful they actually are for the kinds of sites my readers run.

How to Add Testimonials in WordPress (Step by Step)

Before I buy almost anything online, I head straight to the reviews because I want to see what real customers thought before I spend my money, and your visitors are probably doing the same thing on your site.

Testimonials are some of the most persuasive content you can put on a page. Social proof can have a big impact, and did you know it’s pretty easy to add it to your own site?

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the exact process I use, from building the form to displaying the reviews. Once you see how the pieces fit together, the whole thing takes just a few minutes.

Over time, I learned that certain metrics are extremely important to figuring out if your emails are actually engaging your audience.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the most important email marketing metrics, showing you how each one can help you make smarter decisions.

How to Export Contact Form 7 Data to WPForms

Contact Form 7 recently entered a feature freeze. At a WordPress event, it was announced that version 6.2 will be the final major update for the plugin. After that, only bug fixes and security patches.

If you’re one of the 10 million WordPress sites still running Contact Form 7, that’s worth paying attention to. No new features means the plugin won’t keep pace as WordPress evolves.

I’ve helped quite a few people migrate from CF7 to WPForms over the years, and the process is one of the easiest plugin switches you’ll make in WordPress.

WPForms has a built-in importer that pulls your CF7 forms over in a few clicks. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the full export and migration process from start to finish.

Paystack Addon

Introducing the WPForms Paystack Addon: Accept Payments in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya

The Paystack addon brings card, bank transfer, and mobile money payments to your forms for buyers in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya.

Buyers click submit and pay in the Paystack popup in naira, cedis, rand, or Kenyan shillings, with no new field to add to your form.

Bank transfer and mobile money payments are saved as Pending, and WPForms can hold your notification emails until Paystack confirms the payment, then completes the order on its own.

Every Paystack payment shows up in WPForms » Payments, and full refunds can be issued without leaving WordPress.

New Feature

WPForms Dashboard

Dark blue hero with a circular bear logo on the left, large headline 'Introducing the New WPForms Dashboard' and an ANNOUNCEMENT badge; a dashboard mockup is visible on the right.

The WPForms Dashboard is a new home screen that opens the moment you click WPForms in your admin menu. Stat cards across the top total up your forms, entries, payments, views, and spam across the whole site.

An Entries widget charts activity over your chosen date range with a per-form table of entries, views, interactions, and conversion rate, and a payments widget totals everything collected once a gateway is connected.

With the Geolocation addon active, Top Locations ranks the countries your visitors come from, and a Suggested Next Steps panel points to features worth turning on.

Nothing to install, as it comes with every plan, including Lite!

New Feature

WPForms QR Code

Announcement banner: dark blue background with headline 'Say Hello to WPForms QR Code: One Scan Opens Your Form' and a large QR code on the right.

Every form now has its own built-in QR code generator, with nothing extra to install or buy.

Open a form’s General settings, choose the page the form lives on or paste its URL, and click Generate QR Code to copy it or download it as a PNG or a print-ready SVG.

Put it on menus, packaging, event badges, or business cards, and every scan opens your form instead of a page that only hands people something to read.

Included with every plan, including Lite; Pro and Elite plans can keep, remove, or replace the WPForms logo in the center with their own.

New Feature

Ranking Field for Surveys & Polls

Announcement hero: dark blue background, bear avatar left, large 'Introducing the New WPForms Ranking Field' text, and three stacked white option cards with 'Movies' highlighted.

The Surveys & Polls addon gains a Ranking field!

Instead of scoring each option separately, respondents drag options (or tap arrow buttons on a phone) into the order they prefer, so one option always has to come first.

WPForms tallies every response into a “Times at #1” count and an average rank for each option, with a chart that makes the winner obvious.

Lay options out as a vertical list or a grid, and use Image Choices or Icon Choices in place of plain text labels.

Mercado Pago Addon

Introducing the WPForms Mercado Pago Addon: Card Payments Built for Latin America

The Mercado Pago addon brings on-page card payments built for Latin America to your forms.

Buyers enter their card details into secure, Mercado Pago-hosted fields inside the form, choose an installment plan, and pay in ARS, BRL, CLP, COP, MXN, PEN, or UYU without leaving your page.

An approved charge fires your confirmation, notifications, and integrations at the moment money actually moves, and full or partial refunds can be issued from WPForms » Payments.

WPForms takes no transaction fee, and it works with Quantities, Coupons, multi-page forms, Conversational Forms, Lead Forms, and Form Pages.
