APC, which stands for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, which could boost a database-driven site several times. Every time a PHP webpage is accessed, the script pulls the site content which needs to be loaded from a database, parses and compiles the code, then the result is displayed to the visitor. While this is necessary for websites with constantly changing content, it's a waste of processing time and system resources for an Internet site that doesn't change, for instance an informational portal that displays the exact same content on a regular basis. When the pages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them every time a user loads them. As this saves the time to collect content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, the site will load considerably quicker. APC is really effective particularly for scripts with massive source code.
