- Show new and returning visitors a certain variation, once it "wins"
If you see a winning variation on your Results page, you may decide to send all traffic to it. You can use Optimizely Web Experimentation and Optimizely Performance Edge for this, before implementing the changes permanently on your site.
It is possible to stop all variations except the winner, but there are downsides. Refer to the stopping variation section in changing traffic allocation and distribution for more.
To direct all visitors—returning and new—to a winning variation:
-
Pause the experiment.
-
Duplicate it.
-
Reset the traffic allocation.
