Confidence

B wins. The difference is statistically significant at 95% confidence.

If A and B really converted the same, a gap this big would show up by chance only 4.7% of the time, less than the 5% your confidence level allows.

95% confidence interval for B − A

The true difference is likely between +0.01 and +1.79 percentage points. The interval doesn’t include zero.

How the verdict is reached

  • Conversion rates: conversions ÷ visitors for each version.
  • Uplift: (B − A) ÷ A.
  • p-value: from a two-sided z-test on B − A, with the unpooled standard error of the difference.
  • Confidence interval: B − A ± z × the unpooled standard error of the difference.

Significant isn’t the same as important

With enough traffic, a 0.1-point difference becomes significant and still not worth shipping. Look at the low end of the interval: if the smallest plausible gain is too small to matter, treat the result as a draw.

When to distrust a result

  • Fewer than about 30 conversions in either version.
  • The test was stopped the moment it turned significant.
  • Many metrics or segments were checked and one came out significant.
  • Traffic between versions is far from the split you set (a sample ratio mismatch).
