The game has to be a single-page app. There's no real reason to reload page every time a building is finished in the building menu, or every time we add a building to the building queue.

Other things too: navigation between different places of the planet menu or even in-between planets should be seamless too. Not only will it make the game much more engaging and fast, it will also reduce the load on the network and backend, since now you don't need to completely rebuild the page from scratch, but only send a quick response to the front-end.

this would be a massive rework of the whole code - if you want to do that, you can start do develop a whole new game.

baby steps. Slice the pie into nice stories. PMs know how to do that. The game already uses ws or ajax in certain places, so no new tech is being brought here.

this tells me you have little experience with this. Currently it's all PHP-based server-side rendering with some 10+ year old bits of jQuery-based Javascript code sprinkled around. It's gonna be a big work, but as I said, I don't understand why did not take the opportunity when they started the app

when you see how they implemented life form you know they don't care about efficiency and server issue is not close to became better
