Which php framework is better to choose for such parameters?

Question

PHP

Colleagues, the question is for those who have a long experience with a certain php-framework.
I choose a php framework for a classic LAMP project, I prefer the following 4 characteristics:

1. FAST - speed for the client, resource consumption, rendering
   
2. UNDERSTANDING - quick start, easy to add pages, understand and debug, community and without the need. studying thick books.
   
3. MODERN - current web standards (REST, AJAX, ROUTE), development opportunities and prospects, readiness for highload
   
4. FLEXIBLE - you can always add something from yourself, possibly support from the box React JS, Vue, etc.
   

Stopped for now:

1. Codeigniter - excellent performance, history, development, a compromise between mini and huge FW.
   
2. F3 - super small and fast, not difficult to learn, but I haven't seen any serious projects
   
3. Phalcon - super speed, no files, great for REST API, higher entry threshold
   
4. Slim is possible.
   

Monsters like Laravel and Symphony are not interesting because they are heavy, have a high entry threshold and are essentially a separate world that requires deep study.
PS: please note that I'm not a programmer who spends all day coding, constantly contacting a specialist is also not convenient, so an easy solution is needed.
Thank you!

Answer 1

Yii2?
There is a frontend out of the box - TB, jQuery, connecting everything else is not a problem.
Documentation and community at the level of
Rest, Ajax, Route out of the box

Answer 2

I would take point 2 (F3): boilerplate MVC

Answer 3

I vote for Yii2 or Laravel
slim and the like, this is purely routing and mvc, everything else is taken from the same symphony.
Laravel is a monster? For learning and using such as Yii2

Answer 4

Why is Laravel hard? There is nothing heavy there, but all the other features are there.
