Hyva is a brand-new frontend theme for Magento 2, that was built from scratch with two main goals:
1. Provide high web performance for Magento stores
2. Simplify development process
What is the magic?
1. Remove unnecessary. A standard Magento theme loads 200+ JS/CSS resources (1.5 megabytes), while Hyva loads just two (0.2 megabytes).
2. Reduce complexity. Hyva’s creator, Willem Wigman, replaced obsolete RequireJS and Knockout with modern Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS.
By leveraging a lighter framework and eliminating heavy and complex elements, Hyvä has achieved optimal page speed without sacrificing functionality - proving that innovative thinking and determination can overcome even intricate challenges. And 2200+ live web stores on Hyva, >50% of which pass CWV are the best evidence.
But Hyva is not just a Hyva Themes, it's also Hyva Checkout, Hyva Enterprise and Hyva UI. Furthermore, Hyva is a dynamic and engaged ecosystem, a community of 3600+ developers and 600+ agencies who contribute to making Hyva better.

1. Blazing Fast Web Performance: Default Magento 2 frontend is slow. Even out-of-the box Luma theme (default magento theme) is significantly slower than Hyva. We’ve conducted Luma vs Hyva Magento performance test. Hyva is 4-5 times lighter than in Luma. As a result, Hyva pages load faster, users can interact with the content earlier, which in turn leads to increasing conversion rates.
Over 50% of web stores with Hyva frontend pass Core Web Vitals. It has a positive impact on a site's SEO ranking in Google search results, increasing visibility, traffic, and providing fast web store with a competitive edge.
2. Efficient Development Due to reduced complexity and fewer dependencies than in Luma development time can be reduced up to 30%. And comparing to the development of PWA solutions the web store with Hyva frontend can be launched even up to 50% faster.
Due to the extensive UI components library, developers can effortlessly browse, copy, and paste desired elements directly into your Hyvä Theme.
3. Cost-Effective Solution:
The cost of purchasing the Hyva Theme is €1,000, which is a one-time fee. All future updates are free, and there are no hidden costs.
A single Hyva Themes license is valid for one Magento 2 installation with unlimited domains and storeviews.
In addition, merchants can enjoy a reduced cost of ownership with the Hyva Theme as it requires less time for customizations and performance optimization.
All these make it a cost-effective solution, providing significant time and cost savings in development, ultimately leading to reduced project costs.
There are 2200+ live web stores on Hyva Hyva Showcases
We work with Hyva Theme from the early beginning. It looked very promising from the first announcement, so when the first version was launched, we decided to put it to the test immediately. It's unfair to try new technologies on clients' projects so always experiment on our own extensions web store first. Despite that store.eltrino.com is pretty small and has simple functionality it's a good playground to hone our skills.
Our store store.eltrino.com we've developed in a month (~200 h) with the development of Stripe Payment method for Hyvä React Checkout
Our first big project on Hyva was Grasscity web store, dozens of thousands of SKUs, multistore with complex functionality, a lot of personalizations, and integrations with other third-party tools.
The next great case study from our experience is Engels. Engels Group, a leader in sustainable solutions in Europe, faced challenges with their outdated web store as they expanded into the UK market. The existing site had design inconsistencies, performance issues, and lacked a cohesive design system, impacting the user experience and potential business growth. Now due to Hyva even their web store has become more environmentally friendly, as improved web performance reduces the carbon footprint.
