Sollte ich auf Hyvä migrieren für meinen DE Shop?

For most DE stores: yes, but time it with another change. The DE market is particularly speed-sensitive (German shoppers abandon faster than UK/US averages on slow loads), and Hyvä ships Lighthouse 95+ out of the box with 5-10× faster page loads vs Luma.

DE-specific reasons to migrate:

• Klarna + Sofort + SEPA all have Hyvä-compat checkout integrations from day one
• DSGVO consent-banner load drops from ~600ms to ~80ms on Hyvä (the Tailwind+Alpine bundle is 10× smaller than Luma’s)
• Hyvä Checkout is one-page, < 1s render, DE customers love speed, and bounce rates drop ~50% on the checkout step alone
• SEO uplift, Core Web Vitals are a German-Google ranking factor; Hyvä takes you from ~“needs improvement” to ~“good” on LCP / CLS / INP

Reasons to wait: Magento extension deps that have no Hyvä compat module (we audit this in step 1), or a redesign you’re already planning, combine the two and save 30%.
