APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP sites save their content within a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a webpage. The content which needs to be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. All these actions take some processing time and involve reading and writing on the hosting server for each page that is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for websites with constantly changing content material, there're various sites that feature the very same content on a lot of of their webpages at all times - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant sites, and many others. APC is exceptionally useful for this type of websites as it caches the previously compiled code and displays it when visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. This will not only reduce the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any Internet site many times.
