Is there a way to develop and website using JS (and perhaps PHP) to create an E2EE website. Were all packets sent between the server and the userw device are E2EE, wrapped in a layer of encryption?

I know there is HTTPS but I am looking for something stronger than HTTPS.

By using some JS or PHP E2EE package, would I have to write or structure the website code very differently than you normally would?

And you cant use self signed certificates because?
They provide the same level of encryption. The benefit of a domain and a trusted CA issued cert is that browsers/os will automatically trust that the server is who its said it is (ie you dont get a warning).

But if you import your servers root CA to your OS, then your OS (and browser) will automatically trust any cert issued using that root cert, thus you dont get a warning.

With or without a warning, it will still encrypt at TLS1.3
