Hyva delivers LCP under 1.5s and passes Core Web Vitals. Luma scores 30 to 50 with LCP of 3.5s or higher, suppressing rankings and conversion on Indian mobile.
Above 5 crore GMV with B2B pricing, complex catalogs, or multi-warehouse inventory, Magento is the right platform. Below it, Shopify delivers faster and at lower cost.
Every migration starts with a ranking URL audit and complete redirect map before any code moves, protecting organic traffic throughout.

Magento development in India: key questions
Magento 2 is the right choice for Indian ecommerce brands above approximately 5 crore annual GMV with complex catalog requirements, B2B pricing, or multi-warehouse inventory that Shopify cannot handle without significant app dependency. Specific scenarios: catalog above 10,000 SKUs with complex attribute sets; B2B ecommerce requiring customer-specific pricing, quote management, and account hierarchy. Multi-store configurations for different regions. And enterprise ERP or PIM integrations needing direct API connectivity. Below 5 crore GMV, Shopify is faster to launch and less expensive to maintain.
Hyva is a modern Magento 2 frontend theme built with Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS. Hyva themes achieve Lighthouse performance scores of 80 to 95 and LCP under 1.5 seconds. Luma and Blank themes typically score 30 to 50 with LCP of 3.5 seconds or higher because of their heavy RequireJS and KnockoutJS JavaScript payload. This 30 to 50 point Lighthouse improvement translates directly into Core Web Vitals ranking signal differences and conversion rate improvement on Indian mobile traffic. Oddtusk builds Hyva-first for all new Magento projects. See our Magento SEO service for how Hyva performance feeds organic rankings.
Magento Commerce includes a native B2B module that Oddtusk configures and extends for Indian enterprise requirements: company accounts with buyer roles and approval workflows. Customer-specific and tier-based pricing. Quote management with negotiated pricing. Purchase order support with internal approval chains. Shared catalogues for different buyer segments. Quick order functionality for repeat buyers. And credit limit management with payment terms. For brands using Magento Open Source without the native B2B module, equivalent functionality gets built through custom module development. These B2B ecommerce structures are designed with SEO architecture in mind from the start.
Elasticsearch is the search engine used by Magento 2 to index and serve catalog search results. Configured correctly, it enables fast full-text search, relevance tuning to surface commercially important products, synonym management for Indian product naming variations, and faceted search performance at scale. Elasticsearch is required for Magento 2.4. Default configuration produces mediocre search results that hurt organic ecommerce rankings and conversion rate. Oddtusk configures Elasticsearch relevance weights, custom attribute indexing, stopwords, synonyms, and faceted navigation performance as a revenue asset, not a technical checkbox.
Oddtusk handles three categories of Magento migration: Magento 1 to Magento 2 with data migration, theme rebuild, extension replacement, and URL redirect maps; Magento 2.3 to 2.4 upgrades with deprecated code fixes, extension updates, Elasticsearch implementation, and PHP compatibility. And Luma to Hyva theme migrations with Hyva frontend rebuild and custom module frontend compatibility with Alpine.js. Every migration includes a complete redirect map and SEO audit of the existing store before any code moves, preventing organic ranking loss. Post-migration Magento SEO monitoring gets included.
Magento SEO architecture gets built into every Oddtusk development project before launch: URL rewrite configuration, canonical tag settings, layered navigation crawl management, XML sitemap, schema markup for Product, Review, and Breadcrumb, and robots.txt. These are the same foundations that our dedicated Magento SEO service addresses retroactively on stores built without them. Oddtusk eliminates this retroactive cost by building correctly from the start, so the store begins ranking on launch day.
Magento 2 requires dedicated server infrastructure. Shared hosting is not viable for any production Magento 2 store. Oddtusk recommends cloud infrastructure on AWS India region (Mumbai, ap-south-1) for Indian-primary traffic because of latency advantages. A production Magento 2 stack requires Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL or MariaDB, Elasticsearch, Redis for session and cache, and Varnish or Fastly for full-page cache. Adobe Commerce Cloud includes Fastly CDN and Elasticsearch as part of the subscription. Correct hosting directly supports Core Web Vitals performance and organic ecommerce rankings.
A Magento store built correctly is the foundation for all downstream marketing performance. GA4 and GTM tracking configured at launch provides accurate conversion data for Smart Bidding on Google Ads from day one. Product schema and breadcrumb schema enable rich results that improve CTR from Google Shopping and organic search. Layered navigation configured correctly at build time prevents the crawl waste that suppresses Magento organic rankings.
