Demo Guide
The MageDemo storefronts are fully functional Magento 2 environments. This guide walks through what to explore and how to evaluate what you are seeing.

Open demoA live Magento 2 storefront running the default Luma theme. The same Magento backend as the Hyvä demo — only the frontend differs.
Open demoHow to explore the demos
Open the storefront
Launch either the Hyvä or Luma demo directly from the homepage. No login, no signup — the demo opens immediately as a live Magento storefront.
Browse categories and products
Navigate through the category pages and open a few product pages. Pay attention to how quickly each page responds, especially on the first load. Notice whether elements shift as the page renders.
Use search
Try the search bar. In Hyvä, search suggestions and results are rendered with Alpine.js, resulting in noticeably snappier interactions compared to the KnockoutJS-based search in Luma.
Add products to cart
Add a product to the basket and watch how the mini-cart updates. In Hyvä, the cart interaction is handled client-side without a full page reload. Compare this with Luma's approach.
Go through checkout
Proceed through checkout to see the full flow. The demo is fully functional — you can enter details and progress through each step. No payment is processed; the checkout stops before any transaction.
Check performance
Open Chrome DevTools (F12) and run a Lighthouse audit from the Performance tab, or use PageSpeed Insights on the demo URL. The scores speak for themselves.
Comparing Hyvä and Luma
To get the most value from the demos, open both in separate tabs and compare them directly. These are the dimensions worth paying attention to.
A few things to know
Checkout stops before payment
You can complete the full checkout flow up to the payment step. No transaction is ever processed and no real payment details are required.
Demo data is reset periodically
The demo catalogue and cart data are reset regularly. Any items added to the basket or account data entered will not persist indefinitely.
Performance reflects real Hyvä
The Hyvä demo runs on Hypernode, a managed Magento hosting platform. The performance scores reflect a real production-grade setup, not a synthetic benchmark.
No account required
There is no login, registration, or signup of any kind required to use either demo. Open the URL and you are in.
