APC, which is short for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, that could boost a database-driven website several times. Any time a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the content that has to be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, then the result is displayed to the website visitor. While this is necessary for websites with frequently changing content, it's a waste of processing time and system resources for a site which doesn't change, such as an informational portal that shows identical content on a regular basis. As soon as the web pages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them each time a user accesses them. As this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your Internet site will load significantly quicker. APC is really effective in particular for scripts with large source code.
