Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you both.

Yes we did however for the complexity of the test and what we are trying to achieve it made more sense to do a real world production test with 100% of the traffic and compare to historical data.

We're planning to test something and we want to 302 a page to another page for a period of time. The question is, the original page is ranking #1 for a high traffic term.

I want to know what will happen if we do this? Will we lose our rank? Will the traffic remain the same?

Ultimately I do not want to lose traffic and I do not want to 301 until it has been properly tested.
