APC, which stands for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script application, which can boost a database-driven Internet site several times. Every time a PHP page is accessed, the script pulls the site content that should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is shown to the website visitor. While this is necessary for sites with routinely changing content, it is a total waste of processing time and resources for a site that doesn't change, like an informational portal that displays the exact same content on a regular basis. Once the webpages for such a site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them every time a visitor accesses them. Since this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, your website will load considerably quicker. APC is very efficient in particular for scripts with large source code.
