> when you need to wait 750ms to have each page load

Wait, what? If it's taking most of a second for a page to load, then that's the problem, not that it isn't a SPA.

What can I do? Do you have a suggestion for a different HRIS? All of these that have all needed features are bloated OOP apps in PHP...

Amdhal's Law would suggest that much of the 750ms latency is likely attributed to I/O operations (mainly DB ops) and not CPU. Also, without knowing anything about your setup: upgrading to PHP 8 and/or enabling opcode cache may help. All that said, my original quibble was with development time, not run time overheads.

750ms transaction times and it’s “the language” that’s the problem? Not bloody likely.
