Can I Limit the Amount of Quota a Test Consumes?

Yes. If you’re using the Professional or Enterprise plan, you can set a maximum number of Tested Page Views that an individual test can consume. Once that limit is reached, Nelio A/B Testing automatically stops the test.

This is useful when you want to:

  • Run small, low-impact tests
  • Prevent a single test from using all your monthly quota
  • Validate ideas quickly before committing more traffic
  • Better distribute your available quota across multiple tests

How Does It Work?

Every test in Nelio tracks the number of Tested Page Views it consumes. With advanced plans, you can configure the End Mode of a test so it stops automatically once it reaches a defined limit.

For example, if you configure a test to end after 3,000 Tested Page Views, Nelio A/B Testing will automatically stop it when that limit is reached

Important: Reaching the page view limit doesn’t necessarily mean the test has collected enough data to produce a statistically reliable winner. If the test stops before reaching the required confidence level, interpret the results accordingly.

How to Set a Page View Limit

When creating or editing a test:

  1. Open the End Mode section.
  2. Select Page Views.
  3. Enter the maximum number of page views the test is allowed to use.
  4. Save the test and start it when you’re ready.

Nelio A/B Testing will track page views automatically and stop the test once the limit is reached.

When configuring a test, change its end mode so that the test automatically finishes when reaches the amount of page views consumed.

Test Limit vs. Global Traffic Participation

This setting applies to one specific test and determines when that test should stop.

It’s different from the global Tested Visitors setting, which controls what percentage of your site’s visitors are eligible to participate in tests.

For example, you could:

  • set Tested Visitors to 50% globally; and
  • configure a particular test to stop after 3,000 tested page views.

The first setting controls who can participate, while the second controls how much data that particular test can collect before stopping.
