How multiple recommender experiences work on one page

Marfeel Recommender supports both single and multi-experience setups on the same page. Each “experience” is a distinct configuration of content feeds, targeting rules, presentation formats, and priority settings. Regardless of how many experiences you deploy, the goal is the same: deliver highly relevant, personalized content while maintaining optimal performance.

What is a multi-experience setup?

A multi-experience setup allows multiple recommender experiences to coexist on a single page. This is more advanced than running a single recommender and is useful when different page sections need different content strategies.

When a page has multiple recommenders, all recommendations are fetched in a single request to Marfeel’s backend. This single-request architecture provides two key benefits:

• Optimal performance: Reduced round trips lead to quicker load times and a smoother user experience.
• Integrated deduplication: All experiences are resolved together, preventing the same article from appearing in multiple modules.

How deduplication and priority work

When multiple experiences select the same article, it appears in only one placement. The system automatically enforces two rules:

• Article uniqueness: Each article appears only once, no matter how many experiences requested it.
• Highest priority delivery: If multiple experiences compete for the same article, it is placed in the experience with the highest delivery priority.

This means you can configure each experience independently without worrying about duplicate recommendations. The deduplication layer handles conflicts at request time.

How does Marfeel Recommender handle multiple experiences on the same page?

When a page has multiple recommender experiences, all recommendations are fetched in a single request to Marfeel’s backend. This reduces round trips for faster load times and resolves all experiences together so the same article never appears in more than one module.

What happens when two recommender experiences select the same article?

The system enforces article uniqueness. Each article appears only once, regardless of how many experiences requested it. The article is placed in the experience with the highest delivery priority.

What is the difference between a single and multi-experience recommender setup?

A single-experience setup uses one recommender configuration per page. A multi-experience setup allows multiple recommender experiences to coexist on the same page, each with its own content feeds, targeting rules, presentation format, and priority settings, while sharing a unified deduplication layer.
