APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP sites keep their content inside a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content which has to be displayed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. All these actions take some processing time and involve reading and writing on the server for each page that is loaded. While this cannot be avoided for websites with regularly changing content, there are various Internet sites which have the exact same content on a lot of of their pages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, and many others. APC is extremely useful for this type of websites because it caches the previously compiled code and shows it every time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled again. Not only will this decrease the server load, but it will also raise the speed of any Internet site many times.
