Hyvä is a frontend theme framework for Adobe Commerce/Magento 2 that replaces the default Luma theme. Built with Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS instead of Knockout.js and RequireJS, it's significantly lighter — resulting in dramatically faster page loads and better Google Core Web Vitals scores.
In our experience, migrating from Luma to Hyvä typically improves Google Lighthouse performance scores from 20–45 to 85–98. This improvement directly impacts Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FID), which Google uses as a search ranking signal.
Not all extensions are Hyvä-compatible out of the box since they often include Knockout.js UI components. Scale D2C audits your extension stack for Hyvä compatibility and migrates or replaces any incompatible extensions as part of the migration project.
