FAQ about Hyvä Hosting at maxcluster

In this FAQ post we give an overview of the Magento theme Hyvä, the technical requirements and the installation at maxcluster.

What is Hyvä?

Hyvä is an alternative base theme for Magento. While normally Magento themes are based on the included "Luma" or "Blank" theme, Hyvä is a theme built entirely from scratch.
The standard Magento themes are based on KnockoutJS and LESS technologies, while Hyvä is based on Tailwind, PostCSS and Alpine.js.

Hyvä achieves good performance mainly by using less code. TailwindCSS allows for much smaller CSS files that only contain the directives that are really used. Furthermore, Javascript is only used in places where it is really necessary, reducing overhead. Other important factors are the reduction of the number of layout blocks and the consistent use of ViewModels instead of blocks.

The Hyvä theme can be purchased at https://hyva.io/.

Compatibility and functional support of Hyvä

Is Hyvä compatible with Magento 2 open source?

Hyvä themes is compatible with Magento open source as of 2.4.

Is Hyvä compatible with Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento 2 Commerce)?

What Magento features does Hyvä support?

On the Hyvä page of integer_net there is an overview of the features and an overview as PDF for download. Overview page: https://www.integer-net.de/hyva/ Overview PDF: https://www.integer-net.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/07/hyv%C3%A4-matrix-2022-07-20.pdf

What is the compatibility of Hyvä with other modules?

Modules that do not affect the frontend will work fine. For other modules, the frontend output must be adapted. The community has already created an overview of frequently needed extensions and their status regarding Hyvä compatibility. You can find an overview in Git here: Hyvä Compatibility Module Tracker

Is my maxcluster cluster compatible with Hyvä?

Our Ubuntu clusters are all compatible with the Hyvä theme as well - you don't need to pay attention to any special features here.

For development environments, tools like browser-sync or postcss-cli can be used. These are packaged by us.

If you have any questions about our servers, we are of course happy to help as usual at support@maxcluster.

How do I install Hyvä?

For installation we recommend to follow the official instructions: https://docs.hyva.io/hyva-themes/getting-started/index.html.

After purchasing a license, basically the following commands have to be executed (Note: "yourLicenseAuthentificationKey" should be replaced by your own key):

composer config --auth http-basic.hyva-themes.repo.packagist.com token yourLicenseAuthentificationKey

composer config repositories.private-packagist composer https://hyva-themes.repo.packagist.com/yourProjectName/

composer require hyva-themes/magento2-default-theme

bin/magento setup:upgrade

Please also note the instructions for production setups: https://docs.hyva.io/hyva-themes/building-your-theme/deploying-hyva-to-production.html.

What can I expect from Hyvä?

With Hyvä, you have a particularly lean Magento theme at your disposal. You can use it to build particularly fast frontends, which are usually also rated well by Google PageSpeed Insights.

On the server side, however, not much changes, so a significant improvement in TTFB (Time to First Byte) is not to be expected.

Please note: The frontend must be completely redesigned to benefit from Hyvä accordingly. Often, adaptations to 3rd party modules are also necessary, which leads to additional development effort.
