APC, which is an acronym for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script application, which could boost a database-driven website several times. When a PHP web page is opened, the script pulls the content that should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, and then the result is displayed to the visitor. While this is necessary for sites with frequently changing content, it is a complete waste of processing time and system resources for a website that doesn't change, like an informational portal that displays the very same content on a regular basis. Once the webpages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them each time a user accesses them. As this saves the time to get content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, the Internet site will load considerably faster. APC is very efficient especially for scripts with large source code.
