How to Use the PageTest.AI WordPress Plugin to Start Testing Your Site Content

If you're running a WordPress website, the PageTest.AI WordPress plugin is the easiest way to add the required JavaScript snippet and begin A/B or multivariate testing your page content—without writing a single line of code.

This guide walks you through exactly how to install and configure the plugin to enable live content testing.


Step 1: Understand What the Script Does

Before we jump in, here's a quick reassurance:

  • The PageTest.AI JavaScript snippet is asynchronous—meaning it won't affect site speed or performance.

  • It simply sits in the background, allowing you to change page content, monitor user behavior, and identify winning variations.


Step 2: Install the Plugin

  1. Log into your WordPress admin dashboard.

  2. Navigate to Plugins > Add New.

  3. Search for "PageTest.AI" in the plugin directory.

  4. Click Install Now, and then Activate the plugin.

You can also view the PageTest WordPress Plugin page here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/pagetest-ai/


Step 3: Log Into Your PageTest.AI Account

Once activated, you'll see a new PageTest.AI option in your WordPress sidebar.

  1. Click the PageTest.AI menu link.

  2. Enter your PageTest.AI credentials to log in.

  3. Once logged in, your account will connect automatically.

💡 You can choose to save your credentials for faster access.


Step 4: Select Pages or Posts to Test

Once logged in, you’ll see a list of options for applying the PageTest script:

  • Select specific pages or posts you want to run tests on.

  • Or check "All Posts" and "All Pages" to run tests sitewide.

Click Save when you’re ready.

The plugin will now dynamically insert the PageTest.AI JavaScript into the pages you selected, connecting your website to your PageTest account and activating live testing.


Step 5: Optional – Install the Chrome Extension

For a smoother testing workflow, install the PageTest.AI Chrome Extension (if you haven’t already). There’s a quick install button available inside the plugin interface.

The extension makes it easy to:

  • Highlight and select elements on any page

  • Create and launch tests directly from your browser

  • Monitor variations and performance in real-time


Step 6: Explore Advanced Testing Tools

Inside the plugin panel, you’ll also see a Create Test Campaign icon. Click this to access advanced testing features and detailed setup options directly in your PageTest.AI dashboard.
