A redirect is when you send someone to an alternative page for a different experience. The Evolv AI Web Editor supports a redirect variant type to make it easy to implement URL split tests into your optimization.

Why use a redirect?
URL split tests are standard when it comes to website optimization. They're used when you want to test sending a portion of traffic to a different page to see how it affects the user experience.
Traditional AB testing tools let you run a split test on its own, where you define a landing page, and various redirect URLs as variants. But what if a redirect is only part of what you want to test?
Evolv AI lets you continue running all your ideas simultaneously, including redirects.
