Set up image A/B testing with Google Cloud Storage

Marfeel’s no-code A/B testing solution lets editors run A/B tests on images without writing any code. With image A/B testing activated, editors can determine which images make the most impact and communicate the urgency behind their stories. Run image A/B tests on any page where the no-code solution is active.

Home page editors can upload and edit images through the HUD UI. The images are uploaded to the publishers’ origin and served via your CDN. Marfeel offers pre-built connectors to origins such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Cloudflare R2.

TIP:
During trial periods, Marfeel serves images from its Fastly CDN for convenience.

Activate image A/B testing

To activate image A/B testing, follow the same process as for headline A/B testing. Find those instructions here.

In order to run A/B Tests on images via the HUD, you need to have Google Cloud Storage integrated.

Configure image origins

When a home page editor uploads an image, Marfeel stores it in the storage bucket of your preference and serves it from there.
