Hyvä Checkout vs full Hyvä theme, which should I do first?

Q: Hyvä Checkout vs full Hyvä theme, which should I do first?

Depends on where the bleeding is. Two patterns I see: Storefront slow, checkout OK → full Hyvä first. If PLP/PDP Lighthouse is < 50 and bounce rate is high, fix the entry pages first. Hyvä Checkout is a smaller win on top. Storefront OK-ish, checkout abandonment > 70% mobile → Hyvä Checkout first. Captures ~50% of the perf wins for ~25% of the migration cost. Lower risk, faster ROI. Then plan a full Hyvä migration in a later phase. For heavily customised Luma stores where a full migration is genuinely $30k+, Hyvä Checkout alone is often the right answer for the first 12 months. The two aren’t mutually exclusive, they stack.
