Customizing the Magento 2 Store Switcher: Hyvä, Alpine.js and URL Logic

Maxim Mironjuk - September 05, 2025

A Magento 2 store switcher looks like a simple dropdown in the storefront, but behind it hides redirect logic that decides whether a customer lands on the same product page when switching language, or unexpectedly jumps to the homepage.

Maxim Mironjuk - September 04, 2025

A slow GraphQL query is rarely GraphQL's fault. The real problems sit deeper: N+1 patterns in resolver chains, EAV tables that produce dozens of joins per product, and queries without complexity limits that can load the server arbitrarily. This article shows where to look and what actually helps.

A responsive product grid pattern with auto-fill, minmax and aspect-ratio ensures product cards stay evenly distributed at every screen size, without maintaining a separate media query for every column count.
