FAQ – Frequently asked questions about Hyvä hosting at maxcluster

What is Hyvä and how does the theme differ from classic Magento front ends?

Hyvä is a newly developed base theme for Magento 2 that was created independently of the standard themes “Luma” and “Blank.” The goal is a lean, modern frontend that requires less code and can be delivered faster.

Instead of KnockoutJS and LESS, Hyvä relies on TailwindCSS, PostCSS, and Alpine.js, among others. Layout elements are reduced, and ViewModels replace many classic blocks. The result is a reduced frontend that forms the basis for fast, easily maintainable Magento 2 shops.

Which Magento versions is Hyvä compatible with?

Hyvä Themes is compatible with Magento Open-Source version 2.4 and above. If your project is already based on this version or is being upgraded to it, Hyvä can be used.

Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento Commerce) is also supported. For commerce projects, we recommend checking the current Hyvä feature matrix to see which features are already covered and where individual template or module development is still required.

Do existing extensions and modules work with Hyvä?

Extensions that only provide backend functions or business logic can usually continue to be used without modification. Modifications are mainly required for modules that come with their own frontend templates, blocks, or extensive theme customizations.

The Hyvä community maintains overviews of frequently used extensions and their compatibility status. As a general rule, the more a module interferes with the frontend, the more likely it is that templates, layouts, or JavaScript components will need to be customized.

Is a maxcluster environment suitable for using Hyvä?

Yes. Hyvä does not have any special requirements for the server environment, so Magento 2 projects can be run on maxcluster without any additional adjustments. The technical basis remains identical to other Magento 2 setups.

maxcluster is a Hyvä Preferred Hosting Partner and has experience in operating Magento shops with Hyvä frontend. Common tools such as browser-sync or postcss-cli are available for development and frontend builds, which we provide as packages.

If you have any questions during the setup or configuration of your environment, our support team will be happy to assist you.

How does the installation of Hyvä at maxcluster work?

The Hyvä theme is usually integrated into your Magento 2 project via Composer. To complete this, the access data for the Hyvä repository is stored, the package is installed, and Magento is updated using the familiar CLI commands. The individual steps are described in the Hyvä documentation.

In most projects, your agency or internal development team will take care of integrating and customizing the theme. maxcluster provides the appropriate server environment, meets the system requirements, and supports you with questions about execution, performance settings, or recommendations for productive setups.

If you already know your hardware and server service requirements, you can put together the appropriate hosting environment directly using our hosting configurator. If you are still unsure, the hosting configurator will help you determine a suitable initial configuration based on a few details, which can be flexibly adjusted at any time later.

What performance advantages does Hyvä offer, and what remains unchanged on the server side?

Hyvä significantly reduces the complexity of the Magento front end. With fewer stylesheets, scripts, and layout structures, pages can be rendered faster. In many projects, this leads to better results in tools such as Google PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals – and thus to a more direct, responsive user experience.

On the server side, however, Magento remains the basis of your application. Key figures such as time to first byte or stability under load continue to depend largely on hosting, caching concepts, and database configuration. In addition, to fully exploit the advantages of Hyvä, the front end is rebuilt, and adjustments to third-party modules may be necessary.
