With Thrive Headline Optimizer, you can create headline tests and you can also view stats for your ongoing test directly from your post/page:
First of all, in order to have access to these stats, you have to install the Classic Editor plugin.
Thrive Headline Optimizer works best with an older version of the WordPress editor, therefore we recommend installing the “Classic Editor” plugin to enable these features.
Once you have completed this step, you will be able to access all your headline stats as per the steps detailed below.
Open any post/page on which you have already created a headline test, and you see two sets of stats:
-
Engagement rate
-
Thrive Headline Optimizer Test box
Engagement rate
Next to each of the headline variations, you will see some engagement metrics which tell you the engagement rate of each of the headline variations.
For example, the “Follow these 10 steps to have a great website” headline variation above has a 50% engagement rate, meaning that 50% of visitors that viewed that headline on the website, also created an engagement by fulfilling one of the engagement settings of the headline test.

With the Thrive Headline Optimizer plugin active you will find a “Thrive Headline Optimizer Test” box next to your post/page title in WordPress:
If you have an ongoing Headline Test on your post/page, in the Thrive Headline Optimizer Test box, you can see live data for your Headline Test.
Below you will find detailed explanations of all the information that you can find in the test box:
-
Views: number of combined views that your post/page has had on your website;
-
Engagements: the total number of engagements all of your headline variations for this post/page has got. For a detailed view of this information, click the “Details” link;
-
Engagement rate: show the percentage of people that created any kind of engagement with your post/pages headline variations
If you clicked on the “Details” icon next to the Engagements, more information will appear about your Headlines Test engagements. You will be able to see here exactly where the Views and Engagements for your Headline Test have come from:
For example, in the image above, you can see that your “Clicks”, “Scrolls” and “Time on site” have each 4 views, while 3 visitors that viewed your headline, clicked on it, and they also scrolled to the percentage of the page that you set to be recorded as an engagement, and none of the visitors stayed the amount of time on your website, that you set up to be saved as an engagement.
