Magento + Hyvä technical checklist: 25 checks before rebuilding your front-end
The list we use internally in our audits: performance, Core Web Vitals, catalog, checkout and tracking. A print-ready PDF — no course, no theory.
- 25 concrete checks, each with its reference threshold
- The 6 most common causes of an LCP above 4 seconds on Magento
- How to estimate the time and cost of a Hyvä migration before asking for a quote
— What's inside
1. Performance and Core Web Vitals
- Mobile LCP under 2.5s on home, category and product pages (CrUX field data, not just Lighthouse)
- INP under 200ms on pages with filters and add-to-cart
- CLS under 0.1: explicit dimensions on images, banners and third-party widgets
- WebP/AVIF images with srcset and lazy loading below the fold
- Third-party JavaScript loaded after consent and never render-blocking
2. Front-end and theme
- Inline critical CSS and bundles under 150KB compressed
- Check whether the current theme is a customised Luma: quantify modules relying on Knockout/RequireJS
- Hyvä compatibility of third-party modules (or an existing compat module)
- Custom components isolated so they can be rewritten without touching the rest
- Design system and tokens shared between front-end and marketing assets
3. Catalog and PIM
- Mandatory attributes filled 100% on active products
- Product images compliant (dimensions, naming, alt text)
- Flat catalog and indexes matched to the real catalog size
- Automated import/export, no manually uploaded files
- A single source of truth for product data (ERP or PIM), not Magento
4. Checkout and conversion
- Checkout steps and fields cut to the strict minimum
- Payment and shipping methods aligned with the target market
- Checkout response time under 1s for every action
- Localised error handling and messages, no technical codes
- Cart recovery active and measured
5. Tracking and data
- Consent Mode configured and verified in debug mode
- Complete ecommerce events (view_item, add_to_cart, begin_checkout, purchase)
- Server-side tagging or Conversions API where the client pixel loses data
- Search Console and sitemap aligned to real URLs, no 404s or redirect chains
- One shared reference dashboard for marketing and development
