APC, which is short for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script application, which can boost a database-driven website several times. Every time a PHP web page is accessed, the script pulls the site content which should be displayed from a database, parses and compiles the program code, and the result is shown to the site visitor. While this is necessary for sites with frequently changing content, it's a total waste of processing time and system resources for a site that doesn't change, like an informational portal that displays the exact same content at all times. Once the web pages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them any time a website visitor accesses them. As this saves the time to collect content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, your Internet site will load significantly quicker. APC is really efficient in particular for scripts with large source code.
