Goals

Rank your optimization objectives and set target values for your key metrics.

Tell Spar what you're trying to move. Settings > Goals has two parts: a ranked list of objectives and a set of KPI targets.

Goals settings page with the Optimization objectives list and the KPI goals table showing goal inputs next to current site KPIs
Objectives on top, KPI targets below.

Optimization objectives

These are your priorities, in order, and Spar uses them to guide its A/B test recommendations for this site.

  • Add one from Add an objective.... The list only shows objectives that fit your business model.
  • Use the up and down arrows to reorder. The top objective is your first priority.
  • Click the red X to remove one.

KPI goals

Enter a target for any metric you care about. Goals show up on the Metrics scorecard. Leave a field blank if you don't want a goal for it.

The Current Site KPIs column shows your last 30 days next to each input so you can set a realistic target. A few things to know:

  • Metrics with a small downward-arrow icon, such as bounce rate, are better when lower.
  • The current value turns green once you've reached the goal.
  • If you type a goal that's worse than where you are today, Spar warns you with Goal is worse than current value.
  • Ecommerce sites also get revenue per session and revenue per visitor goals.
