How do I test different product page layouts effectively?

I'm struggling to optimize my e-commerce product pages and increase conversion rates. Every small change seems to impact sales, but I don't know how to systematically test different layouts, design elements, and content configurations. I need a reliable method to understand which page variations actually drive more purchases, reduce bounce rates, and improve overall user experience. How can I set up meaningful A/B tests for my product page layouts that provide statistically significant insights?
