APC, which is short for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script application, that can speed up a database-driven Internet site several times. Any time a PHP webpage is accessed, the script pulls the content which has to be loaded from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is displayed to the site visitor. While this is necessary for websites with regularly changing content, it is a total waste of processing time and system resources for a site that doesn't change, for example an informational portal which displays the same content all the time. As soon as the pages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them any time a user opens them. As this saves the time to request content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, the site will load considerably quicker. APC is really efficient especially for scripts with massive source code.
