Headline Tests v1.0.0
A/B test post headlines: show visitors alternative titles, count impressions and clicks, and keep the headline that wins.
No credit card for the trial. Pro from $3.25/mo, billed annually. 14-day money-back guarantee.
The headline decides whether a post gets read. Headline Tests lets you stop guessing: write an alternative headline for a post, and half of your visitors see it while the other half see the original. The plugin counts how often each headline is shown on your home page, archives and search results, and how often it gets the post opened. When one headline is clearly ahead, one click makes it the post title.
Headline Tests Pro
$39 per year, single site
Everything in Free, plus:
- Up to five headlines per post (the original plus four alternatives).
- A statistical significance calculator: a two-proportion z-test of every alternative against the original, with a confidence column in the results table and a plain-English readout ("B beats every other headline with 97.3% confidence").
- Auto-promote: choose a confidence level (for example 95%) and a minimum number of impressions per headline, and the winner becomes the post title automatically, checked every hour.
