  • ·Hyvä Theme is free and open source since November 2025: a migration now costs the work, not a licence.
  • ·Magento 2.4.6 left regular support in August 2026; 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 get no fixes at all. If your store runs one of these, that is the first job.

Common issues

What usually slows a Magento store down

  1. 01
    Luma frontend weightRequireJS, KnockoutJS and jQuery load on every page. Hyvä replaces them with Alpine.js and Tailwind.
  2. 02
    Full page cache missesBlocks that break the cache, customer-specific content in cached pages, Varnish or Fastly not configured for the real traffic.
  3. 03
    Extension conflictsThird-party modules that hook into the same events, add frontend scripts everywhere, or block upgrades.
  4. 04
    Indexers and cronStuck indexers, heavy cron jobs during peak hours, and catalog price rules recalculated too often.
  5. 05
    Upgrade and patch debtMissed security patches and minor versions that make every later upgrade larger and riskier.
What V.DEV does on Magento
  • Luma to Hyvä migrations, including checkout
  • Custom Hyvä components and module compatibility
  • Varnish, Fastly and Redis tuning
  • Adobe Commerce Cloud staging and production deploys
  • Security patches and version upgrades

Migrations, upgrades, Cloud

The three Magento jobs that come up most, each with its own page or quote.

Hyvä migration

Hyvä migration: scope and cost

Luma to Hyvä, including the checkout. The theme is free since November 2025, so the cost is the work: a compatibility audit of every frontend extension, the theme rebuilt on Hyvä components, checkout, tracking, tests, release.

  • 120 to 300 hours, 6 to 12 weeks for a typical store
  • Fixed quote two working days after the compatibility audit
  • Built on staging; the live store keeps selling
Scope, cost and timeline
Upgrade

Upgrading from Magento 2.4.6 or older

Regular support for 2.4.6 ended in August 2026; 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 get no fixes at all. The upgrade to 2.4.8 or 2.4.9 is a project: extension compatibility, PHP, OpenSearch, staging upgrade, regression tests, release in your window.

  • 40 to 120 hours for a typical store
  • The free check reads your version from outside
  • Combine with the Hyvä migration: one round of testing
Dates and the upgrade path
Adobe Commerce Cloud

Adobe Commerce Cloud

Environment set-up, deploy hooks, staging and production deploys, Fastly and the quirks of the Cloud file system and caching. Also plain Magento on your own hosting; the plan is the same.

  • Deploys in the monthly plan, no separate quote
  • Fastly VCL, image optimisation and cache rules
  • Cloud project users and access handled per the security page

A typical month

What 8 hours on Magento look like

Real-shaped examples of a Growth month. Bigger items such as migrations and version upgrades are quoted as projects, so the plan hours stay for the work that keeps the store moving.

Magento questions

Asked by Magento stores

General questions about communication, billing and access are in the full FAQ.

Luma or Hyvä?

Hyvä for almost every store still on Luma: faster pages, cheaper frontend work, happier editors. The migration is quoted as a project; the monthly plan then maintains it. If you are mid-way through a redesign on Luma, I will say so rather than sell a migration.

Can you upgrade us from an old 2.4.x?

Yes. Upgrades (for example 2.4.4 to the current release) are scoped as a project: extension compatibility check, staging upgrade, regression tests, then production. Security patches in between are part of the plan.

Do you work on Adobe Commerce Cloud?

Yes: environment set-up, deploy hooks, staging and production deploys, and the quirks of the Cloud file system and caching. Also plain Magento on your own hosting.

We have an agency already. Does this still work?

Often, yes. Either I take the performance and platform work while the agency does features, or I review their work as your senior. The NDA and your repository rules apply either way.

Security

Your code stays yours.

NDA signed before access, read-only for the audit, removed on delivery.

How access works
  • Signed before accessNDA and data processing agreement are part of the agreement you sign at checkout. Nothing is accessed before that.
  • Read-only for the auditThe audit needs to read code, not change it. No production changes, no deploys.
  • No customer dataNo production database. If data is needed, an anonymised copy is used.
  • Personal, revocable accessOne named account, 2FA on. Anything that has to be a secret reaches me through the secure drop: sealed in your browser with my public key, readable only on my machine, never by email. You can revoke it any time.
