Building a custom online chat
You can run a node js with socket Io as a WebSocket service and then use Apache to proxy it, you could still use your HTML served by Apache with no problem. Also, there's an implementation of socket Io written in PHP, maybe it worth take a look https://github.com/walkor/phpsocket.io

Server response to AJAX request, or a websocket approach. Do you have media to recommend to learn this ? Thank you
If neither works I do not have experience with the next. But a Socket.io type implementation could work. Could make a simple web API in node to handle just the events/web sockets. Can also look around to see if anyone has made any implementations of Socket.Io for php that would work with the Socket.Io JS client library. Here's one, don't know if it works or how well.

Swift sucks at web serving or does it?
Yeah one could use https://github.com/walkor/workerman for PHP and it would probably beat all other frameworks in the graph.
Would it be a representative experience compared to PHP? No, because that's not would be used in an average scenario.

Scaling to ~15K requests per second with Java – Part 1
I remember a consulting gig where they were pushing 50k requests per second with PHP in a 2018 laptop by using this framework https://github.com/walkor/workerman
In a real application, with database connection pooling and auth sessions, it went down to 15k requests/s.
And that was PHP7. PHP8 introduced JIT so it's probably significantly faster these days and hopefully fully typed.

Asynchronous PHP — Multiprocessing, Multithreading & Coroutines - Diving Laravel
That's cute. I managed to get 100k requests per second on a single i7 CPU this week using standard blocking code with Workerman. Zero added cognitive load. It also does DB pooling, workers, sockets and consumes relatively lower memory than other solutions.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing phpsocket.io and Workerman you can also consider the following projects:
laravel-swoole - High performance HTTP server based on Swoole. Speed up your Laravel or Lumen applications.
Ratchet - Asynchronous WebSocket server
