APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP Internet sites hold their content within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content which should be shown is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the site visitor. All of these actions take some processing time and include reading and writing on the web server for each page which is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for Internet sites with regularly changing content material, there're numerous Internet sites that have the very same content on a lot of of their pages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, and many others. APC is really useful for this type of sites because it caches the already compiled code and displays it any time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled again. Not only will this minimize the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any site several times.
