How do you send half of your web traffic to a new site?

3

I have a new version of my site in a different directory and I want to send half the traffic there to beta test it, while keeping my old site in tact. I have searched for redirects and .htaccess solutions and can’t find one.

Send the traffic to your original site. Have some code in the home page that checks whether they should be redirected to your new site page.

    Keep a value in a database table. If it’s 1, update it to 0; if it’s 0, update it to 1. Send all the 1s to the new site and all the 0s to the old site. Do this on a php page that doesn’t display anything.
