APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script app, which could boost a database-driven website several times. When a PHP webpage is accessed, the script pulls the site content that needs to be displayed from a database, parses and compiles the code, and then the result is displayed to the site visitor. While this is necessary for websites with routinely changing content, it is a complete waste of processing time and system resources for a website which does not change, for instance an informational portal that shows identical content on a regular basis. As soon as the webpages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them any time a website visitor opens them. Since this saves the time to request content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, the site will load considerably quicker. APC is very helpful particularly for scripts with larger source code.
