APC, which is short for 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. Any time a PHP page is accessed, the script pulls the content that should be loaded from a database, parses and compiles the program code, then the result is displayed to the visitor. While this is necessary for websites with regularly changing content, it's a waste of processing time and resources for a website that doesn't change, like an informational portal that displays the very same content on a regular basis. When the webpages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a website visitor accesses them. Since this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your Internet site will load much faster. APC is really helpful especially for scripts with larger source code.
