What's the process for testing different homepage designs?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm struggling to optimize my homepage's conversion potential. I want to understand the most effective methods for systematically testing different design variations, tracking performance, and making data-driven decisions. My current homepage isn't converting as well as I'd like, and I need a structured approach to redesign and validate potential improvements without risking significant revenue or user experience disruption.
