How visitor bucketing works

< 1 min read

Bucketing decides which variant each visitor sees. Opti-Behavior keeps it consistent so a visitor sees the same variant on every visit. This article explains it.

How assignment works #

  1. When a visitor enters a test, they are assigned to a variant based on your traffic split.
  2. The assignment is stable, so the same visitor keeps the same variant across pageviews and return visits.
  3. This prevents a visitor from seeing conflicting versions, which would spoil results.

Expected result #

Each visitor experiences one consistent variant, and totals match your configured split over time.

FAQ #

Does bucketing need cookies? #
