Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers that is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and will boost such an Internet site up to three times. PHP sites are dynamic and any time a visitor opens some web page, the script links to a database in order to retrieve some content, then the code is parsed and compiled before it's displayed to the guest. If the output code doesn't change however, that's the case with sites that display the same content all of the time, such actions trigger unneeded reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled program code and delivers it any time visitors browse a website, so the database does not need to be accessed and the program code does not have to be parsed and compiled again and again, which in turn lowers the Internet site loading time. The module can be quite efficient for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, etc.
