React powers millions of web apps. But A/B testing in React can be complex — component lifecycles, virtual DOM updates, and state management create unique challenges. ExperimentHQ solves them all, making it the #1 A/B testing tool for React.
The A/B Testing Challenge in React
Traditional A/B testing tools weren't built for React. They cause problems:
⚠️ Flicker Issues
DOM changes after React renders cause visual jumps
⚠️ SDK Complexity
Most tools require SDK integration and context providers
⚠️ Bundle Size
Heavy SDKs increase your JavaScript bundle
⚠️ Re-render Issues
Changes can trigger unnecessary re-renders
ExperimentHQ solves all of these. Our lightweight script loads before React and applies changes at the DOM level — no SDK, no bundle bloat, no flicker.
Why ExperimentHQ is Perfect for React
Zero Flicker
Tests apply before React renders. No flash of original content.
Framework Agnostic
Works with CRA, Vite, Remix, Gatsby — any React setup.
Real-Time Analytics
Watch conversions update live. Statistical significance calculated automatically.
No SDK Required
Just a script tag. No npm packages or complex integrations.
Install in 5 Minutes
Option 1: Add to index.html (Recommended)
public/index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Add ExperimentHQ before other scripts -->
<script
async
src="https://cdn.experimenthq.io/snippet.min.js"
data-site="YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="root"></div>
</body>
</html>Option 2: Using react-helmet-async
App.jsx
import { Helmet } from 'react-helmet-async'
function App() {
return (
<>
<Helmet>
<script
async
src="https://cdn.experimenthq.io/snippet.min.js"
data-site="YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
/>
</Helmet>
{/* Your app content */}
</>
)
}That's it! No npm install, no context providers, no hooks to implement. Just add the script.
Works With Every React Setup
ExperimentHQ works with any React framework or build tool:
Create React App
Vite
Next.js
Remix
Gatsby
Parcel
Webpack
+ Any other
Why No SDK is Better
Most React A/B testing tools require SDK integration. Here's why ExperimentHQ's approach is better:
Zero Bundle Impact
Our script loads separately — doesn't bloat your JS bundle
No Code Changes
Don't need to modify components or add providers
Instant Updates
Change tests without deploying new code
Works With Any State
Redux, Zustand, Context — doesn't matter
