APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP websites keep their content inside a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a webpage. The content which has to be shown is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the site visitor. All these actions take some processing time and involve reading and writing on the hosting server for every single page that is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for Internet sites with regularly changing content material, there're a lot of sites which offer the same content on a number of of their webpages all the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, and many others. APC is extremely useful for such Internet sites as it caches the already compiled code and displays it when visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled again. Not only will this reduce the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any site a few times.
