APC, which means 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 opened, the script pulls the site content that has to be displayed from a database, parses and compiles the program code, and then the result is shown to the website 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 which doesn't change, such as an informational portal that shows the same content at all times. When the pages for such a site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them any time a visitor opens them. Since this saves the time to get content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your website will load significantly faster. APC is very effective especially for scripts with larger source code.
