APC, which stands for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script app, which can speed up a database-driven Internet site several times. Each time a PHP webpage is accessed, the script pulls the content which should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is displayed to the site visitor. While this is necessary for websites with routinely changing content, it is a waste of processing time and system resources for a website which doesn't change, such as an informational portal which displays the very same content all the time. Once the webpages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a user loads them. As this saves the time to get content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, the website will load considerably faster. APC is really effective in particular for scripts with massive source code.
