Secondly, you can cram the JS and CSS into a .phar file, the performance is horrible, but it's probably not noticeable in this scenario.

It is a single file—that you need an interpreter does not change that fact. It's assumed that the user already has the interpreter.

You can cram the JS and CSS into the PHP file itself, no phar needed. Performance change is unnoticeable on any modern machine.
