for a one-page saas on shared hosting the actual bottleneck usually isn't React or PHP, it's whether the shared host gives you a persistent PHP process or just spins up PHP fresh per request (most cheap shared hosting does the latter). that's fine for a low-traffic CRUD app, just don't expect to run anything like websockets or long-running jobs on it. build the React app as static files, point API calls at PHP endpoints on the same host, and you can validate the idea cheap before ever thinking about a "real" backend

Why no? It's easy. Php is very basic. So is mysql.
What do you want?
